This is Kari Ann, greetings from the Critique Club:

composition: a very balanced image, the man and dog compliment each other to a T.

color:black and white was the way to go with this image, i am so glad you chose it. It adds such a dramatic narrative to the image, almost as if it never existed at all

contrast: the way you handled all the unique shadows and highlights is amazing. nothing is lost in shadow, yet nothing is overexposed.brilliant.

focus: nice and sharp, able to decipher all the detail

depth of field:being able to see all the way back in the courtyard behind makes this image even more mysterious and looming

lighting: the harsh lighting was controlled wonderfully in this image, as i stated before, its really an acheivement to capture this kind of light.

other: i wish this would have scored higher, but this is one of those gems that people underrate without taking a moment to really sink their teeth into the image, really processing what is going on, and how awesome it is. I hope your glad how this came out, its a real beautiful shot. If you have any other questions, feel free to PM me anytime.
-Kari Ann

I like the the perpective here. Just to nit pick, I don't like the burning of some of the coulds. The lighting looks off due to the PP.

The background is a little crowded for my taste. A shallower depth of field might fix that.

For me, this is a very nice shot, but it is a tad too washed out.

Too much going on in the photo, I would say. Not sure what I'm supposed to take away about his personality, either.

I wish you had put a little effort into the editing of this pic. The highlights are blown on and so much could be done with this shot. It is great however, and the story of fisherman is so amazing that it fits great into the personality challenge.
