Very nice, colourful shot. It's be great if he was looking at the camera... I like the frogs. I want one!

This meets the challenge - inanimate and arranged. I hope you enjoyed arranging it :-) I sort of dislike it for being a joke, but I think it works. The clean doily, bowl and background against the violated fruit. heh 7

Sorry but this is hardly what I would classify as a portrait, more of a street candid BUT I wonly deducted one point since I realize different people may have different opinions of what is a portrait and this certainly is a picture of a person. As a photo it´s nice but still, nothing that is making my jaw drop, somehow the man blends in too much and doesn´t stand out, the image is too busy for my taste. 5 from me.

lovely image, composition and lighting is perfect, the only distracting thing is the small piece of sail that is visible in the top left corner.

I like this image, looks like a 1950's drawing.
the only thing that I don't like is the bright spot on the roof and the water on the ground, those bright spots are bad for the image.

Kudos for capturing an environment. But (hate that word) the environment is too dominant to consider this a portrait. If you had cropped it more...

I liked the idea and the title, but the postprocessing looked too heavy for my taste...just too dark. Nice hat though. I know this critique is not too helpful.

I think this is just one of those ideas you just have to try because you want to. I know I've wandered down that path before myself. Come to think of it, I charged down that path in this same challenge. I had a nice hat too. ;-)

I liked this shot a lot. The noise in the sky was a little distracting, but other than that, I liked the colors, lighting, focus, and subject matter. I gave it an 8.
