This surprised me with the energy, and the wonderful "timewarp" feeling it gave me.
It really took me back to the 50's, and I loved that emotional feeling.....
This is a great image, and the score does not do it justice..... |

| This image has a 50's feel to it. Even the OOF guy in the background adds to that feeling. |

| Very nice! Very nostalgic(sp) feeling. Would have liked a little more grain to go with the 50's feel though *wink* |

| I wish so much that I could make color like this. The coloring matches the 50's feel very well. The guy in the back should move, though. Those are some serious tatoos! |

Very well done. The retro-look here works well, and this has all the makings of a shot I could see in a magazine, or yet on the front of one.
The story here is well told in the composition and applaud you on the lighting!
Well done, and now added to my favorites. |

| As I gaze upon this photo I cannot help but think of the film American Graffiti . The somewhat muted colors give it a nostalgic feel - which helps because the composition has some old style classic cars in it. The title of this piece is A Day at the Races and unfortunately the composition of the elements just doesn't carry it off. You don't show us much of the cars in this shot - all we are given is the top portion. Showing us more of this racer leaning against the car with the front portion, the hood, the wheels visible. We see the racer but showing more of his car will give us a better sense of who he is and what action is about to take place. Next shooting at a lower angle and a different angle (perhaps to the side of the car where the grille and headlight are seen at a diagonal) would remove all the unsightly elements that detract from the main focus of your image ( the other cars, that guy strolling by in the background, the billboard, and possiblity the telephone poles & wires). |

Composition: 7 - Very nice, focuses attention well on the man. The large amount of black space on the bottom right is the only thing distracting.
Technical: 7 - Good DoF to separate him slightly from the background, but still leaving background detail to give him a context. The post processing effect is nice too
Creativity: 6 - More than just a normal portrait, shows more of his character, nice.
Appeal: 6 - Overall I like the "gritty" effect from the PP which suits the subject well :)
Overall Calculated Average Score: 6 |

| At first glance I didn't like this photo because of the color tone but the more I look at it (and assume the tone is intentional), the more I get a nostalgic 1950s feel. Shame the wires are in the background as it distracts a little bit but this is nicely processed for effect. |

| I like the feel I get from this picture, the only problem I have is the guy in the back ground somehow doesn't seem to fit in. good luck. |

| Lots of haloing around the face and car, indicative of masking and d&b work. I generally like the composition and facial expression. |
