I like the composition in this shot because of the way the dark along the top right, offsets the light along the bottom left. Brilliant flare too - well captured! Leaving it near the vertical center works ok too, however I might have nudged it a bit more right for myself.
For the DPC voting crowd, I think the following would have helped as well: sharpness, landscape or a square crop due to monitor aspects versus portrait crop, and a tad smaller border.
This is a new style for you - as I wasn't able to pick it out of the bunch as yours, well done. During voting, I voted it a solid 5, wishing I had a "5.5" button based on the attributes of the submission. Bottom line, I like it! I am looking forward to more surprises from you. - ralfw

Rust Never Sleeps

I like the desat choice on this. It caught my eye because of the composition, and after gazing for a bit, realized that only the rust was in color. Good choice to desat all but the rust!
Also - regarding composition, the shadow of the barbed wire makes this shot even better. Very nice.

One of my top favorites in this challenge. The lighting on the face appeals to me, good sharpness, depth of field and focus as well, brings out the facial details.

I really like this portrait - captures the personality. Great detail. For my tastes, I would prefer to see this shot with more of a black/white grayscale, rather than the sepia tone that it has, but a portrait to be proud of, regardless!

Priceless facial expression - that makes this shot for me. One of my favorites.
