Not quite to the same level of expertise as some of the other avian images in this challenge, the image is flawed due to a difficult lighting situation leading to rather flat and dull conversion and soft focus. The overly busy background also enhances this problem. A good effort that might have been improved with a little more patience waiting for a different angle and lighting.

Oh Panos I thought this was very cool and I would have expected it to finish higher. I love how the sun is highlighting just part of your face (great clarity btw for a hand-held shot) and the cigarette really enhances the noir-like feel. Now on to the anti-smoking part of my message... :P

Great shot!

A good demonstration of how to use natural lighting to set mood and create a provacative image. The transitions are perfect and it's a good use of both subject and space. Well done.
