This is okay, but it doesn't do much for me.

I would prefer to have the negative space in front of the man, but that's just me. Lovely sky!

this has the workings of a really nice shot, but something about the crop bothers me. it seems to be too weighted toward the left side of the frame and i feel like it's unbalanced. the lighting and contrasts are great, and the stone has really great tones and textures. i just think a different crop of this would be a lot nicer. good effort. 6.

Wonderful shot.......appeling man, sky. Like this. Not crazy for the crop on the left side. Still interesting work.

Cool shot, I just wish you would have been on the other side looking into the photo. I fill like it has been cut. The horizon seems to be a bit tiltled too. Good luck

perhaps it would have been better if the man had looked the other way, into the light?

An interesting character shot, but why didn't you straighten the horizon? It looks awful! Shame also that his face is in shadow. Great expression and pipe though! 5

nice lighting, good composition, excellent posing and expression, but i noticed a LINE(?) above your head, it distracting...your portrait is a classic one and so powerful, there's a story behind it....good luck to your submission, i do hope you can get a ribbon.
