Hey Kobi

I am very confused how anynone would suspect that you hadn't taken this within the correct timeframe.

For my money it is better than the image that won and I can't understand why you did get a higher score in the first place.

I don't know what a drag 'quin' is, but I get the picture. In spite of the prosaic background (which you have tried your best to suppress), this is a spectacularly good portrait.

All the hurts and humiliations this person's lifestyle choice routinely attract fade away (like your background) when he feels like this.

This is a good candid and he's wearing a fantastic outfit. It seems a bit over-saturated though.
