great picture, i love the colors and lines. I would maybe crop just a little off the bottom, and the sign just to the left of the man is distracting, would've been nice to frame up a little to the left and have him covering it. 9

I like this silhouette a lot. Nice minimalist pattern as background, and the polished floor does wonders with the light. 9

The light and shadow are so pretty in this picutre...the reflection on the floor is wonderful, a nice composition.

Nice lines and variation in light.

Very nicely captured! If this were anything but an Open Challenge, I'd hope you'd have cloned out the sign just to the man's left as it does pose a bit of distraction -- but basic editing is basic editing and I'll take the image at face value. I don't know what's out of frame to the right so suggesting a split second later exposure would be presumptuous and do you little good at this point. Constraints aside, this very nicely makes the man the strong subject called for by virtue of his stark absence of features amid the amply lit background. Conspicuous by their absence, his features would only distract while his silhouette stands on its own. Nice work!

I'm not sure if people are liking the inconsistant light or not, but I actually like it. 7 from me.

Wonderful timing. The horizon seems slightly tilted to the left but is only a nitpick. Very well done. 9.

The only thing I dont love about this image is that hes smack dab in the middle of the photo (vertically, not horizontally) Other than that, great job. 7

very nice candid shot, i really like the space he is in and how you captured him as a sihloutte form.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/28/2005 05:03:00 PM
Great capture. However he's walking toward the dark not the light.....

great capture well done
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Interesting work, the, 'no skateboarding' or whatever it is, sign, is distracting, too bad no cloning eh? I light the light, and how the brighter aspect of this photo on the left side silluettes the man. There is too much of a division in the lighting though, between the left side and right side; the left side is really bright, and the right side is darker. T'would be better if both were the same. Nice image though, 6

Nice. Interesting, clean, simple.

04/28/2005 07:26:43 AM
This is all working for me. The stark background, the light and of course the gentelman. Good luck.

In the real, non challenge world, I would clone out the little sign behind his head. Otherwise a great picture.

excellent
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/27/2005 01:05:52 PM
i would have liked the focus point on the person
as it is either motion blur or focus makes it a bit indistinct

Nice background color. The silhouette works, but isn't really evocative.
