Kinda tough for me to critique this one. I really liked this photo when I first seen it. Very deep and powerful. This shows amazing initiative and creativity. It looks like a very well thought out shot. Everything about this shot works for me. Focus, lighting and composition all seem to be perfect. The only thing I can find wrong would be his eyes could have stood out a bit more. Again this is a tough critique for me because I like it so much.

I like this very much, the placement of eyes, nose, mouth is perfect. It's a very "strong" portrait. One of my favourites in the challenge. (10)

I like the originality of the foreground! And the expression works well with it! The face does seem a bit lost lighting wise? Maybe a side lighting might have increased the contrast? well done

Interesting idea but not quite sure why it doesn't really stand out.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Very compelling. Love the unusual concept, and the entire "feel" of the shot. Great eyes.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This is a great picture. The black fence has a bold statement.

I like the use of fence and added contrast here
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/14/2005 09:58:54 PM
Wow nice dark portrait, the contrast is very nice.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/14/2005 08:59:21 PM
Nice image but to me a portrait should represent a raw depiction of a subject... yours although a great shot dosn't strike me as a true portrait... nice job... :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/14/2005 02:43:05 PM
Powerful image. I love the look in the eyes. The contrast is excellent as well. 10

Great setup, great picture! 9

This is a very interesting photo with a good concept behind it. I feel it would have been slightly more effective if the eyes had not been as dark as they turned out (at least per my monitor) He almost looks like he is wearing a Halloween mask from a distance. Still good composition.

i really like the name. i read the name, look at the picture and all i can think is,...
right on.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/13/2005 11:35:03 PM
I love, love, love the expression. You can see something "behind" his eyes. The highlights are a little too high for the dark background. (hey this should have been in the high contrast challenge...) 8

Ya know...I heard about that prison break....sorry...only kidding :-) I like it. 8

Nicely Done- Glad he is on the other side of the fence.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/13/2005 04:47:16 PM
Amazing image. Good looking model with a great stare.. I love the lighting as well as the texture. However there is a lack of color and I'd prefer it without the fence.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/13/2005 12:36:27 AM
Intriguing and unique picture. Love the black chain and the overall mood of the shot fits the models expression. Great pic.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/12/2005 10:48:48 PM
Very dramatic with character kind of portait. I lie the color contrast too.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/12/2005 09:49:59 PM
I really like this shot and the obscured view is unique!! I wish you could have found a way to make the eyes a little less oscured ... I know that sounds a little contradictory, but the eyes could have made this pop.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/12/2005 04:27:05 PM
neat idea...good job

i dont like that I cant really see his eyes. windows to the soul!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/12/2005 09:02:56 AM
Really interesting and not the expected portrait position. I like his freckled complexion. The eyes are deep and intense. I wish somehow you could have them so that the wires aren't covering them up - maybe moving slightly to the left or right? It has seriousness which I really like.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/12/2005 06:58:21 AM
good
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/12/2005 03:15:44 AM
Like the creativity, but in all honesty...it's a little creepy- but I won't hold that against you.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/12/2005 02:56:28 AM
Very nice, off-beat portrait.. the gritty texture in the beard/mustache make the chain links work, imo.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/12/2005 02:10:31 AM
Very dark and very cool. I really like the direction you took with this challenge. Great Job.
