In my judgment this is immense shot with brilliant lighting and shadows and black and white works great with this photograph. You leave me wondering where the ‘hero theme’ is sited in the photo but the photograph it self is telling me its there. I don’t know why, my best guess is you prepared such a good photograph that my interpretation is overridden by the power of the photo. 10

Not a fan of the pigeons, which takes away from the composition IMO. I wonder if it would look better with some of the top negative space cropped out. Nice muted colours. 6

Great portrait, very intense eyes and great lighting. Only thing I don´t like is your crop, I would have it tighter and lose that space on the left and top but this is a strong image.

caught my attention. the other submissions were 'desperately' trying to get a "hero" image using well known characters. this one did it without even trying. your dad?
