Greetings from the Critique Club! :)
I will attempt to critique your image on four basic areas. Keep in mind I'm not a trained professional. ;)
1. Composition: The composition of this one is really nice...a good amount of lead room, helping us to wonder what he's looking at, and a nice bit of background to set the scene.
2. Technical Details: Wonderful combination of excellent focus, wide tonal range, great color, and skilled post processing.
3. Aesthetics: This was one of my personal favorites of the challenge, so to me it's spot-on aesthetically. I love images that aren't "DPC pretty." This one is no exception! :)
4. Relationship to Challenge: Meets the challenge perfectly IMHO.
Keep shooting and submitting and I look forward to your next entry!
Laurie :) |

| Congratulations! I loved it the moment I saw it. I really thought he lived on my corner in NYC, but alas, unless you were in NY, you are a tad far away for it to be! It is so wonderful. |

| This is a marvelous photo. However its a little too mid-tone to meet the challenge totally for me. Only removing some marks for that. |

| To me, there are many similar tonal ranges and the markings on the background wall look like vines coming out of his head. |

| Awesome contrast, great subject, wonderful composition. The only criticism I have is that the guy looks a tad on the green side. Otherwise, this is one of my favorites so far. |

| Great photo, the only thin I would like to see different is the background, had it been more out of focus, I think it would have been a ten. |

| I love this image. Can't tell you why as I'm too tired. Will come back tomorrow. 8 - will bump after seeing rest. Okay, I'm back. And I'm bumping up to 10. Arguments of high contrast aside, I love the image and refuse to be dictated to. POV, DOF, focus, tones, crop, all excellent. Lighting enhances the subject. What more can I say? |

| Its a GREAT shot, but my first though was that its VERY flat! It doesn't say high contrast...maybe HIGH? I love the shot though. 7 |
