Actually shot with a challenge in mind, unlike most of my challenge entries. This is [user]MAK[/user], my oft-times shooting buddy and all-around pretty decent chap.
Applied some dodge and burn and a bit of additional blurring in the background.

Hmm the fact that he is sitting next to a litter bin yet he is so clean and orderly is what I notice first. Also, his vulnerable expression and body language is fabulous. Great shot.
I like this candid looking shot. I love the dof used and composition. really I like most everything here but the color. I would prefer something warmer. bumping from 6 to 8
This image has so much going for it - I just find the hands very posed and his feet look tense...as if he is just about to get up or (again) posed. It has an interesting triptych effect: the man, the tree and the litter box.
I really like your composition and tone, but it almost looks a little too posed. It may be a candid but its just the way it appears. Dont get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with posed, I do it all the time. I think your contrast is right on the money and so is the sharpness and clarity. Your lighting works very good as well. Nice work.
I suspect the blur is added in post - in a way it makes the tree more apparent, kinda. That given, I really like the shot. It's interesting in an odd sort of way.
I like this image alot. The editing is well done. But its the tension of your model that is the most intriguing. It feels sort of candid but not really either. Just a very interesting image. I hope this scores well for you.
