Great image and great PP - the eyes are especially good! And I love the title.....

Killing Joke - Requiem

Man watching city fall
The clock keeps on ticking
He doesn't know why
He's just cattle for slaughter
The requiem

When the meaningful words
When they cease to function
When there's nothing to say
When will it start bothering you?
The requiem

Only a hint of religion
Uncensors to its false depravity
The sound of breaking glass
This is a reflection
The requiem

Looks a lot like Earl Boykins of the Denver Nuggets. Love the composition, the motion blur and the grain. Great photo!

Terrific. The red in conjunction with the DOF and frame really make for an interesting image. I love the shadow and movement as well.

Composition-wise, he's standing on a strong line in a photo, at a thirds and you indeed us the other two-thirds good by accommodating his look towards the ground. It's a shame the foot is not on it, because that is kinda painful to watch.

Lightwise.. this is where i personally feel it doesn't all work out for the best. A human tends to look at the whitest parts first and here that is the out of focus shoulder down to the legs. The part that needs to get the attention, the face, is out of the light and as such doesn't attract the attention it should.

The focus on the contrary is dead on. The face is sharp, sadly enough the attraction-getting of this dof, is lost by the white glow on the other parts of the body.

So you have two strong elements, composition and dof, but to my personal feeling a lot is lost because of the light.

Glorious! I love the perspective. Tulips are SO photogenic. The red just pops off of the page.

Great shot. Very "in-the-moment". I like the somewhat burnt color.
