Perhaps there is a Mark reference I'm not getting. I apologise if that is the case. For me the only thing that reminds me of Mark is the b&w. I don't think it is a bad shot though, quite the contrary, only not perfect for this challenge. Best of luck! :)

I think it is a excellent shot and I can see the inspiration from Mark. Only wish there was eye contact.

For me it is not the most interesting composition amongst the other ones in this challenge and I would prefer it a little darker, but that is just one woman opinion. Looks like an interesting guy though! I'm sure he's got some stories to tell :)

Great b&w. Only which he was looking into or at lest towards the camera :)

These guys look like someone Mark would take a photo of, yet for me it is lacking the connection between the subject and the photographer that she nailed in her images. Still, I'm know that I would not be comfortable walking up to these guys and ask to take their photo, so I should not "punish" you for not putting a lens up in their face either :) I do think the image is a bit overexposed in some areas though. Oh, I just noticed the tail! Fantastic!

Hear hear! Not a typical Mark subject, but a nice b&w image :)
