Meets the challenge! The background and shadows from the lighting give this a sort of "snapshot" kind of feel, which isn't necessarily a bad thing but doesn't go over well as far as DPC in most cases.

I like the overall idea, but the full frontal flash gives these realy hard ugly shadows on the wall.
If you would have difused the light and stepped a few feet from the wall the shadowsw ould have been less.
Overall lighting is flat, background is not interesting.
Looks like complaining, dont take it to hard, just trying to help.

not keen on how he is looking above the camera, to say MLAS he should be looking at us when talking to us, imo onboard flash a bit strong & is washing out the BG, good luck

From the challenge: Title your image with your chosen acronym, and let your image explain what the letters represent!

As such you shouldn't put in your title what the letters mean. Thats what the picture was supposed to do.

Would have worked without the extended title and without the exaggerated gesture IMO. Besides that, the lighting is too harsh, the composition too centered.

The lens flare and over-exposure on the right side is a little much. The subject is a little indistinct as well. The tree is quite something!
