Doesn't do anything for me. He needs a different expression on his face? Not sure.

Wow what a miserable looking day. Really helps the mood. Your subject looks rather irritated too, good titling. Lighting looks good, and the subject is very prominent, almost separated from his background - helps portray the alone feel. Nice job. 7

It seems some of us are born with that expression, semi anger. Fantastic. The dreary out of focus background adds to the drama.9

ouch! I can feel his desperation. I don't normally go for flatness in BW photos, but it helped to accentuate the subject. 8

Chocolate Fondue

Comment by dr rick:
Good lighting. The dark tones and candle set a proper mood for this romantic dish. I do wish there was a bit more chocolate, perhaps a freshly dipped fruit ready to eat.

I'm obtuse sometimes and in this case I don't get the title, but I don't hold that against the piece. I'm very intrigued by this image. The lighting is excellent, I love the warm neutrals against the black. The detail and focus are perfect - the grain is very evident and that texture really adds to the photo for me. Its got very simple lines which lend its rough nature a bit of elegance. Wonderful image, very well accomplished. 9

Pos .. excellent focusing, love the total black background and the candle adds a very nice touch.
Neg .. The knife is a throw off for me .. I think it would be better as well if you show more of the top view.
