Clearly a candid, hand-held, night capture - technically difficult given those constraints; so there are, naturally, the inherent troubles present: blurred, grainy, OOF. Yet, I kept coming back to it. It was the last image of this challenge I scored because I struggled to balance its technical flaws against the poignancy of the image.

Initially, it was the striking golden light slicing the square that drew my attention, so I thought the composition good for the square crop. But upon seeing what you were recording, you snagged my emotions - and held on.

If I had to rate this strictly on technical criteria, I hope you understand it would not do well; however, the emotional impact is nearly overwhelming and what you have captured deserves laudations. Eight from me.

pretty noisy and lack of focus distracts from the image for me.

Wonderful picture. The square frame is subtly sectioned into perpendiculars set off by the man in the rolling wheelchair. The lighting and golden tones bring out the rain that has recently passed. His path seems long, lonely and sensually inviting.

Wonderful carving work with nice light and bokeh. So much to see here. The setup, you, your camera, your room. Radish in the background? Anyway, congrats with the blue!

Colgrats my friend! I see your elbow in the reflection. Great job with existing light, hand held, and good to eat as well.
