I gave this pic a 7, only thing I find a littly bothersome is the out of focus twig on the right bottom leave... as this is a fantastic pic you can afford to play a little with bringing out the colors of the leaves.

Great idea, lights reflecting off the 'kings' can be distracting. However, great pic, color and composition. As for your taste of beer, well I prefer Guinness myself ;-) 9

the person self could be a little sharper 7
Reurning to look at it again. The person could surely be sharper, however, looking at this picture as a whole it portrais a feeling of reflection, a needed moment of being alone and that makes this pic very good. The colors are beautiful, the composition actually great... Lot more appeal than the original score, bumping up to 9.

i like your pic but feel the left wooden wall is a bit over powering. 5

looking at this again. I can see what you intended. The wooden left is a strong, and quite beautiful feature. However, the faceless aspect of the competition now gets swallowed by the 'prop'. The rule of thirds is a rule, but not, imo, a hard and fast rule and should not impede on your creativity or the subject at hand. Look again, which ever way I look at it, think about it, the wood is hampering my 'good' feeling. amazingly enough I had this on a 6 during my 1st and 2 nd run, in the 3rd run I brought it down. well, lets be honest this pic is worth more than below average 5 so i freely and willingly bump it back up to my initial feeling. Play with the pic... it's a good one, play with the crop and contrast, play with levels and curves... this is one pic where monochrome was the right choice...yip, it definately is worth more than a 5.. bump to 6 as i had it.
