I thought you'd score better than 5.2 with this one and I was right. Two limitations on an otherwise well captured shot. 1) The highlights are too bright on his arms and forehead. 2) The shot is soft. DPC loves sharp sharp sharp. The lens should be plenty capable and the speed was high enough. Perhaps it was the aperture or this is a tight tight crop. Just a bit more contrast would probably add some more kick, but you can't do that as is with the highlights as they are already.

I'm not Dr. Achoo, but I'll throw you a comment...

I think the think keeping this from being a 6 or more is contrast.

This shot is very flat with a lot of grey. Bump up the contrast which would lighten the background, darken the skin tones, and generally give it more "punch."

At least that's what I get just from looking at it...

Nice moment, the overall look is a little grey and harsh light makes the image blend into the background...
