great sky gradient in black and white and great job preserving detail despite the few blown out spots on the tower's edge

A little bland for me. Needs contrast and some straightening but I still gave it a 6.

I'm totally liking this as I come back to it. I failed to comment on first pass, but it's been at 7 and I am bumping to 8. You've created a quiet, understated, intensely human image that resonates with me. The tonalities are wonderful overall. To my eye, it looks like the face has been dodged just a little too much, it just seems a hair too light, but that's a quibble.

This looks like a very young soldier in a civil war re-enactment. We forget that there were no age restrictions at that time. Nice shot, well composed and processed with the authentic B&W look.
