Very nice. Great sharpness, tones, colour. I love the lighting. I also like how the horizon is carefully considered. I don't know why but I thought of the game 'Myst' as soon as I saw it. Looks like it belongs there. I hope this does well, there's nothing I would change.

Comment by wingy:
I like the composition a lot on this shot. The crop seems just tight enough and the points of interest (tatto, head, hand) are in good places. The hair adds interesting character to this shot as well, with the one strand hanging down and both light and dark strands showing. Originally I really didn't like the grain and the harsh contrast on this shot, and now I'm not so sure. It looks like this was overexposed enough to lose detail on the skin, and then darkened, (although that's just a guess) resulting in areas of the skin that are neither blown out or very detailed, which comes out kind of drab. So I guess my main wish here is some more detail on the skin, or else a high key look all around, but I don't have as much of an issue with those things as I originally did. Great work.

Matt, you were robbed!
This should have finished top 3..... this epitomises my view of a night on the town. Didn't comment on any night on the town shots but this was my fave! Everything about it reminds me of way too many Saturday nights! Great work Matt, keep shooting.

Hmmm. Am I voting on the photo or the tattoo? Tattoo gets a ten, Photo an 8, The lighting is maybe stark, the ink on the tattoo too dark. Nice negative space shapes. The best shape of all ths the V of white skin in the middle of the tattoo. I like that vulnerable white neck space contrasted with the harsh new tattoo/pain. the wisp of hair is nice too and the backs of the ears, maybe the arm competes with it because the arm seems strong? 8

Thats a big...whatever. I'm not sure I would have used the frame thing mainly because of how the sun is shining on the left side of the photo, I would have tried to get more of that into the picture.

That's an interesting one of those things! Reminds me of a giant donut that was featured in an episode of The Simpsons one time.
