Funny. Too bad there is some strong overexposure on the right side.

Hi from the Critique Club!

This is a lovely candid that's perfect for the challenge.

The expression on this young man's face of that exact moment of failure and despair has been captured perfectly. The emotion is there in his face, his eyes and his body language. It's meaning is universal and needs no explaining.

The toning works really well with the football shirt, and as a way to simplify the message even more - making the image more powerful.

I actually like the grain,it adds grityness. And thank the photography gods that you didn't try to neat image it;)

I don't mind his elbow being out of shot, as I know he has an elbow:), and the eye is drawn to and kept on that pained face.

A near perfect image for the challenge!

I like it, but I think the shadow fall off is a bit too dramatic.

The expression is worth a 1,000 words! Very nice.

The angle the light is hitting the subject just does not work well for me. I would like to see a bit more of the face not so shadowed, as well as the mouth and front paws not cropped off.

I don't usually react well to pet shots. But this guy obviously has character.
