I'm totally in awe of your ability to get a great shot in what must be a very short time frame. His posture seems to tie in with the trees. They both have a sense of movement towards the left. I think the only small thing I don't like is the black in the right lower corner. It must be a car he's leaning on or something. Overall though this is a great picture. You even managed to frame him with the white clouds.

Hi, Greetings from the Critique Club:

Composition: The composition is great. Whilst the image can almost be broken into a rule of thirds...by being slightly off you have still balanced the image but given it a unique feel, leading into a story of its own.

Technicals: There is a large tonal range in this image and you have handled all those areas well. I am pleased to see no blown out areas. The perspective is correct as is the depth of field. Choosing to use F10 instead of a wider aperture has kept as much detail within your story as you could.

Summary: Overall...I think this image has a lot to offer. The way the Tshirt man is looking at the other man as if he is talking to him but in a split screen is excellent. The signage lends to this same mood. Job well done. I can definitely see why this image scored so well.

P.S. I have to admit that I didn't look at the author until I finished typing this and was very pleased to see who this image belonged to. I have admired your work for some time and hope that my critique is pleasing to you. Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

You got an 8 from me and I stand by it. One of the much better ones in that challenge. Hard boiled (as in detective novels.) Good work.

The composition on this one is really nice. Also the difference in the two technologies is great.

I think this shot shows a lot of character because of the dress and the man with the big bag. One problem I see with it is I think one of the men in the shot is looking at the camera.
