You are fighting terrible lighting here. Jacket shoulder and sleeve are blown. White Balance is off. Face in shadow.

nice capture of the moment... I think a sightly fater shutter speed would have helped this photo a bit more

I like the photo a lot. My preference would be to see a little more of his face.

The color and tones on this shot are great. The background isn't too cluttered either. The only thing I would have liked to have seen is more focus on the face and maybe a little bit more of a view of the face. well done...6

What catches my attention the most are the pots above the flame. Although they're nice and crisp, they take my eye away from the main subject. Still really like the photo.

good lighting or use of available light, very vivid scene. weak focus or motion blur, crop is too close at left.

Very good idea; the objects in the background detract from the subject a bit.

I'm having a hard time sensing the focal point here. It seems like the thumb on the wine bottle is the only thing sharply defined here. Could be my eyes, so I wouldn't take it as anything other than an observation.

Spot on with this challenge. Well done. Great composition, the fire and the subject both grab my attention. 7.

I like it, but wish the subject was a little sharper. Nice composition.

Nice action/environmental image. The framing being a bit claustrophobic actually enhances the idea of a small busy kitchen .
