The date totally ruins the picture.

I may totally misunderstand this, but your title seems to trivialize the plight of this man. This pictures begs his respect and the title seems to defy that. The time stamp further degrades a fantastic image. Were these meant to take away from an otherwise champion shot?

Hmm, I don't care for the timestamp on the photo. That feature should be turned off for future submissions. I do like the composition of the photo. The stark walls and look of the subject are nice.

Have to watch the date stamp, it really brings a photo down.

This could be a really top noitch pic, but you will get criticised for the date stamp (heavily) and the distracting ephemera around the old man. A tight crop around the man (perhaps with an image in which the socket is not sticking out of his head) adnI think that the lighting and subject matter would score highly. Even with the bits of sticky tape, the light and interest in the subject is fantastic. You are also not using all of your 640 pixel allowance... increase the size if you can.

Scoring on this photo is likely to reflect two DPC faux pas 1) the date stamp in the corner. 2) clutter surrounding the subject. These will both be valid criticisms. My temptation would be to crop it severly so that the man almost fills the frame. But this would cut out the chart pasted to the wall, the mysterious orange box, and the magnifying glass.

The photo has a number of great strengths, some of which are preciously rare to DPC photos. The light is absolutely beautiful. And so is the subject. Perhaps one percent of the photos in competitions are about elderly people on whose faces are written the stories of their lives. The colors of the cloth blanket and garb are wonderful. And the wall itself is interesting: it tells us many stories of the other patients who inhabited bed 676.
