Comment by TooCool:
Nice lighting. Your subject seems a little soft. Did you do this on purpose? IMHO you need to seperate your subject from the background. If you move him away from the trees more and use a more open aperature you can blur out the background and put the emphasis on the gentleman.

Comment by HBunch:
The focus on Burt seems a little soft to me. I think Burt is a very interesting character, and would love to have seen a close up of that face. Maybe in black and white. What a lovely portrait he would make close up. A face full of stories. Lighting seems ok, I may suggest to play with brightness/contrast a bit to maybe make it really punch. Burt looks like a great guy.

Comment by frumoaznicul:
bad focus, expression is dull, bad colors (too much blue lacks yellow). This is however an image that can be enhanced by making it B/W.

Comment by techtraum:
This would easily do better with a sharper focus. Burt makes a good subject though, you should try this shot again. Seems like it could do better with a smaller aperture (it might also help cut down on the blue tinges you get around the light areas at the top of the picture).

great use of Proportion......I like how the tree limb offsets the small helicopters....

Comment by garlic:
It´s a very good idea to try to express the strength and power of the nature forces. But in this case I find it poorly performed. The colors are dull, it lacks sharpness and better focus and I think you need some other angel.

Sometimes.... it's GOOD to look back.

Taken on the move? I think not. Good mirror reflection. Not always easy to get.

Very powerful image. Fits the challenge nicely.

nice photojournalistic shot of the aftermath of the storm....Strength is shown here by its effects on the tree.....not sure it shows strength. Good also use some saturation, not a lot...just a bit. Otherwise fine.
