Are you in the SCA? This certainly looks like a SCA event picture :)
As far as the picture itself goes, I like the fact that this guy is dressed in "period" clothing or garb, but he is on a cell. It is an interesting contrast. I think you did a good job of using your oncamera flash. It is not too harsh and it looks like you tried to balance the natural light and the flash. I think you could have left a little more room at the top of the head or come in a little more, but the crop now is uncomfortable because his head is right at the edge. Nice job on using you focal length and f-stop to get that background blurry. I wish it could have been more, but sometimes there is only so much you can do. Overall I think you did a good job capturing an interesting subject. |

| great take on the challenge. nice portrait with the shiny prts of the armor captured well without blowing the highlights. The background is distracting though |

| The contrast really doesn't seem to have much to do with the picture. |

| Hehe. Nice contrast. I like the direction you took, going for a historical contrast rather than a visual one (e.g. black & white, etc). I think the portrait is good, lighting is decent and the armor certainly adds quite a bit of interest. Focus looks pretty good too. I do have three areas I'd change. First I would've gone for a neutral background - probably black to emphasize the shine of the armor and get the distracting wood panels in the background out. Second, the title references the cellphone and thus the high contrast - however looking at the picture it is tucked away in the hand too much and isn't quite obvious enough, perhaps a turn of the hand so more of the cell phone was visible might bring it to the attention more. Lastly, the crop of the image makes it feel very cramped, like too much has been squashed in, with a flat one color background, a wider frame might been easier to have because you wouldn't have to worry about cropping out distracting elements and this would give the photo more room too breath and relax just a bit. Very nice idea, interesting subject, I gave a 6. |

| Ha ha ha, I'd been looking at color contrast and b&w contrast photos so much, I almost missed your point. Very humorous subjective take on the challenge. :-) |
