I'm not much for receiving or giving comments, but since Candids are
near and dear to my heart, I have decided to give comment on every entry
in this challenge.
This is ok, but badly composed I'm afraid. The skin tones are far too red, and the greens aren't nearly green enough, and more could have been done with tones and color here. I probably would have converted it to b/w or sepia with attention to H/M/S. Glasses are a nightmare for the candid photographer also. They mask emotion in most cases, unless you can see the expression through them or other things are going on around them. I see nothing that sparks any real interest in this shot for me, and what is there is really ruined for me in technicals. I'm afraid this is a 3 vote for me.
An interesting capture of a reflecting moment. The lighting is a bit harsh - not that you can do much about it of course. A small bump in contrast and pull down the highlights a little...might have garnered a higher score for you. Good luck in the challenge.
I like all of the plantlife around the man. He has a sadness about him. Like he's "lost in the shuffle." I guess that was the message you were trying to convey. This would be cool in black and white, neutralizing all of the busy aspect of his surroundings.
