Nice image. Such a smooth background and crisp subject.

Wow, that's a lot of drums! I'm not keen on these borders. For me, it just unbalances the image.

Nice crop and rustic image. I would prefer some texture in the bg, instead of the flat white.

Nice lines. white balance looks a little off. Try adjusting for more reds to warm it up.

Nice capture, and a great choice of image crop and BW.

Solo Reshoot

Yes, I agree this is better than the first. The focus on the flowers is much better. For some comments for improvement, if you have access to some editing software, you could adjust the colour balance, as it looks a little off. I would try bumping the reds a little (but my first inclination is not always right - I find I have to play a bit to get it right. You might get a better result straight out of the camera by setting manual white balance to the shade setting, but I find it very tricky to get the balance right out of the camera, so I do a lot of adjusting afterwards.

Also, the sky has come out totally overexposed. This can be fixed at shooting time with eigther a grad ND filter (might be tricky to set for this image), or a complicated multi-flash setup, which can produce amazing results, but takes a lot of equipment and know-how to get a good result. The best fix here is probably to crop more of the sky out. It doesn't add much to the composition, so I'd say chop it halfway between the top of the shot and your head, and maybe a little off the left too.

Hopefully this helps a little. There's some good emotion in this shot, and I think it's lovely that you put flowers on your ancestors grave. And I don't see anything wrong with the shirt. :)

Beautiful colours, and well matched between fg and bg. Some very subtle editing has produced a magnificent result.

Nice image, but perhaps the tenuous link to the challenge might not score so well with voters.

Polaroid's from Planet X

The lighting is a little flat and washed out. Try putting more focused light closer to the subject to get some stronger shadows to help define your subject in 3d.

Nice setup and editing. Could do with some more shadows around his feet, to help blend the images.
