Comment by SEG:
This is a wonderfully candid shot so it kills me to say that it's a little bright. I don't know how much PP could have been done to lighten it just a tad without losing too much of the photo.


Note-I am not voting in this challenge just commenting on the ones that I can per request in the candid scores forum.

(I had this image posted in my portfolio, then decided to enter it in the Free Study challenge. I'm moving this comment from the other image so I can delete it and have only one version of the image posted.)

I didn't see that you had half dozen Nicollet Mall photos until today. Of all the subjects, Robert has the most "character" that would make me click the thumbnail. I like this one also for the same reasons as the other Robert image. However, I like how you caught the blue of his eyes in this image compared to the other Robert image. This image is warmer than the other image. The other one appears de-saturated a bit, don't know if you intended that for effect (accentuate the cold?) Either way nice job on both images. Nice character studies.

Comment by Teafran:
The pastels work well, but the author is fighting a rather bland and featureless sky as a background - it is a deficit that the rather interesting subject cannot over come. Font choice and color compliments the subject's subtle color tones.

Very period
Aging the white border would have been a good touch
