Wow, I never thought I'd get to critique one of your images... This is going to be difficult because I, like most of your other commentors, scored this high.
Crisp where needed and blurred appropriately.
I suppose those who were looking somewhat literally and hurriedly, at the image, worried about the lack of focus on the man, without thinking of the story. It does tell a good story and is well photographed.
I do wish you had given your Tv, Av & ISO, but you didn't and that's the way it goes.
There are always interesting photos that are overlooked because they are not striking as thumbnails. This is one of that kind. I like this black and white story-telling-photo and would like you to tell the story behind it later. 8.
Photograph with character, contrasts are good. The catch which is not the subject comes to half to hide the subject "cheese" and a blur in foreground one always said me, my professors or other photographers, who it had not come too well in the contests. Thus for me large negative point
This is unbelievably beyond anything else in this challenge. If I can only give this a 10 then I'll have to give the second place about a 6. Adding to my favorites.
