The sun spot takes away from the photo. Maybe from a different angle.

This reminds me of just a quick snapshot, with no forthought. It is underexposed, and has no sense of portraiture at all. The lens flare is distracting. Put him up against a solid background and zoom in on just him without all of the background foliage.

Sorry, doesn't work for me at all. Glare can sometimes be used to get a nice effect but here is is just distracting. The subject is too dark. Nice idea but not good photo. Sorry 3

I like the concept, but the sun rays are a bit overpowering for me. Reminds me of the movie "Powder" (which I like by the way)

interesting shot but I think a portrait should give more personal details.

I like the idea of this picture, but to me a portrait must be more focused on the person (or animal). I am assuming you edited in the "light" but it dulled the colors so much he blended into the background.

The model seems to blend into the trees too much. Seems washed out.

this is an excellent idea - however, you would have done much better in my opinion by posing your subject in an open field or some area that has a better background. You may have been trying to use the sun flare as a creative element here, but I think it distracts from the image. The lighting on the subject can convey the idea of sunlight without the flare. Again, I would love to see this shot with an open background - I think it would really set the photo off. Good luck in the challenge.

probably shouldn't have taken into sunlight like that

Don't care for the sun on the lens, especially in a member challenge, if your subject filled at least 1/2 of the frame it might work as a portrait.

The sunlight distracts from viewing the model.
