Greetings from the Critique Club!
Very poignant image here, you did a great job of capturing this moment of what looks like some pain and a lot of old age. I can see from the angle you shot that cutting off his head for the challenge would have also meant cutting off a lot of his upper body, which we definitely need to see in order for the shot to work.
Despite the DNMC comments as his head is indeed in the shot, I gave you a 6 in voting because I do feel that sometimes the power of an image is more important than the challenge specs. I see that posty feels this way too, so cherish that red, it often means a lot more than many think.
Congrats on thinking outside of the box and risking a beating in terms of score for entering a shot that resonated with you, and others. Please keep up the good work.
Feel free to PM me,
