I like the lighting. The shadow bothers me a little since perhaps because it's so subtle.

Beautiful colors and motion blur. Is this an outtake from the challenge?

I think I critiqued your Shadows III entry! Lucky you!

First impression - Keeping his pants on was the right decision!

The landscape looks desolate, but the subject detracts from the desolation. He looks too fresh and calm IMO.

Also, I can not make out what he is holding or why he is holding it. I want to know more about what is going on in the image.

The white behind the subject is perhaps a bit too hot, although I kinda like it. I wish the blue extended more tot he left side of the image.

A good shot that lacks that elusive "Wow" factor that a lot of the voters look for.

I hope this was helpful. Let me know if you have any questions.

First impressions - Really cool shot!

Meets the challenge - very very well.

I really like the fact that the shadows are not the subject, but the picture would not be as strong without them. The other strong aspect of this shot is the attention to detail. You have that '40s look in every thing from the typewriter to the clothes. The cigar and liquor are nice touches too. Personally. I voted this image higher than any image above it. It might have lost a vote or 2 on the fact that the shadow is not the subject. Some voters may have been strict on that.

The composition is flawless. The eye moves across the entire image allowing the viewer to take in all the detail.

Any score 7+ is rare. You should be very proud.

If there is a negative in my mind it is the wide border. I like borders, but less is more IMO. I would not have taken off for it.

It's hard to find fault with such a strong entry. I hope this was helpful anyway.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
