a lot of potential here, good subject, nice composition...not sure about the processing...a little harsh for my eyes

Slightly too sharpened or dark (or both) on the face. Nice shot.

Interesting subject but I think your choices with levels / curves / contrast haven't quite delivered the potential in this image. This result gives blocks of black, white or grey within which detail might have been expected.

Great tones, I would like to have seen a little bit more of a daring composition. Perhaps putting him on a third. Personal preference though. 6

A model with darker skin color would enhance the result, but genuine idea.

Greetings from the Critique Club

From a technical point of view I believe this is a good image. The composition is good, the angle of the sausages and the depth of field are great. The focus is good too. I agree with Eyewave, the border does not really work for this type of shot.

As I see it, the primary reason this scored so low, relates to the challenge topic. The challenge was for a stock photo that depicts cooking. In order for a buyer/editor to pick a photo such as this, there must be something appealing. Sadly the sausages themselves do not look very interesting or appetising. The burnt bits do not make me want to eat one. I think the concept was good and definitely portrayed cooking, as opposed to just food, but overall it was not a very appealing image due to the overdone (and in some parts uncooked) nature of the actual subject.

Hopefully this helps a little bit.

Love the subject and where he's looking. Maybe a tad over saturated. Just commenting, not voting.

Wow, it's very, very busy. Busy, but very interesting to look at.
