No more mr. Nice Guy

Great shot, fits the challenge (obviously) and I like how you've composed this although I find the horizontal bar a little unbalancing. Nice and sharp, unusual angle, singer's face is in focus and in the shot. Is that Alice Cooper?

First word that came to mind was, 'whoosh'

Great idea and you've executed it fantastically well - 8

Sometimes I love watching darts...purely for the ridiculous commentary! Nice take on the challenge, perhaps you could have gone with a slightly shallower DOF and a slightly more subject exclusive composition...there're a couple of little BG curves and elements that are a little distracting.

Overall a nice idea and a good take on the challenge, but I think you could have executed it a little better. Good luck, mate.

What's coolest to me about this shot is that your subject is in the same spirit as Doisneau, the man who took the shot on the billboard.





Great shot :)

Two South Africans on the front page! Bet you that's the first time THIS has happened at DPC.

Nice work, mate, fantastic capture!

I reckon that without that small distracting element in the top right hand corner this photo would be just about perfect. This is another great entry from you, Nico, I'm really enjoying your work at the moment and looking forward to seein' more.

Nice one and congrats on the ribbon,
Alex

This is absolutely incredible, glad this finished so well but would have liked to see it finish a little higher. Unfortunately I missed this in the voting but it would have been a definite 8 or 9 from me.

Congrats on a fantastic capture.

I didn't get around to commenting but I'm a little disappointed that this ended up all the way down here. Terrific feel to this shot and it was great to see something original against all the bugs and flowers out there.

I gave you an 8, at least you scored 6+ :)

Great simplicity, lovely colours. 8 from me because I like this sort of thing although I don't think most voters do.

I'm a sucker for minimalism and expansive negative spaces ;)

I like this take on the challenge, very creative. I would have perhaps made the DOF a little shallower here and tried to get the eye a little more centred. You've done fantastically well with your BG. Nice work and great idea.
