An incredible shot, and I think it should have scored a bit higher in the challenge. Maybe not a blue ribbon, because Inferno was awesome, but i think it was certainly worthy of a second or third. A close second I might add, with the only thing holding this one back compared to inferno is the mood that they achieved using that devilish feeling woman. I guess when you set a mood, or tone like that, using a woman just comes across as more dramatic. Not to take anything away from the subject here, because its obviously a good-looking fella, and he nailed the look to a T.
I would be interested in hearing why "you" thought Inferno outscored this shot? |

| Great light---including a little more of the arm (elbow) would have been a little stronger--but....beautiful! |

| Great background (I've seen 2 others in the challenge with a similar background, but this is the best portrait among those) |

| I think if you placed your model a bit to the right, this would be a great photo!! Right now he's a bit too much centred. But I love the colors & his expression! 8 |

| This is really nice. The warm tones work well with the background. The one nitpik I have is that his arm seems oddly disconnected somehow. But still gets an 8 from me. |

| Quality work in this image, the coloring and lighting are especially appealing. The only portion a bit off is the transition from arm to hand, seems to sharpen too quickly. Love it though. |

| Great shot! all the technical details are spot. Though I must say I find the crop/pose a bit odd, with the right hand coming out from the bottom left side like that without seeing a connection to the rest of the body. |

| Awesome tones and I also feel your choice of aperture make this a wonderful shot. Soft focus draws my eye center frame. Well done. 10 from me. |

| Love the background, the consistency of color and the expression. They all work well together to portray an emotion and not just another boring portrait of a person. Very well done! :) |

| Nice even lighting - would, however, have been better without the awkwardly positioned arm in the frame - this has the feel of a self-portrait...but I could be wrong. |
