This photo is standing out from the crowd of all the western portraits. Adding something extra with the black&white image.

I love the idea of the leap from birds to planes here. Photographically, this image needs a solid depth of field (DOF) though, meaning the plane is just outside of the DOF. My preference would have been to stop WAY DOWN (f/30+), to increase the area in focos. Good cropping, and I like the desaturation for this image! Good studio setup.

Love the expression on his face. When you see the smile all you can think is Happiness or joy. Great B&W conversion. Nice work.

Excellent interpretation of the challenge. I tried to do something similar in a Free Study and I bombed.

"I Call Your Name". Must be someone from Kwa-Natal! Or a Johnny Clegg fan.

I like the black and white treatment. It feels a bit like a passport photo though. Maybe a different crop?
