This shot seemed so much more unique than most of the photos this week, and you got only 4 comments? Wow.. that's ridiculous. It was a personal favorite. Nice work.

The depth of field works great. So does the framing. I like the expression you captured as well. 7

Seems a little too blown out for my tastes, but I like the background, the shadowing, and the framing. 7
Update: Ok, so it's grown on me a bit. I think the blown out look works pretty well. It makes the shot much more unique and on second thought I wouldn't reduce the effect at all. I bumped your score up as well.

Black & White

I like it a lot, although the black side seems to add very little to the shot. The portrait simply in the white is excelent. Perhaps if a little bit more of the face were visable in the black side it would add a lot more to the shot. I do like the concept though, and as I said the expression and mood just of the white side are enough to make this a great shot. 10

I love how the hat blends right into the background and covers the eyes. An excelent shot. 9

I love this shot. I particularly like how the black pants blend into the background. The facial expression and pose in general are great. I think the wide framing works well. Good work. 8
