		| To me, this is a posed candid.  How does the environment define the subject? |

		| Nice portrait, though I would like to see a little more of his "environment", as the challenge calls for an environment that says something about the person.  Exposure-wise, I'd like to see the shadows a bit darker to give the image more depth, and unfortunately there are some blown out highlights on the hand and the face is a little overexposed.  Compositionally, I wish he was looking at the camera, instead of leading my eye out of the frame. Despite all these nit-picks, I do like the photo, and he is an interesting subject. Just needs a few technical tweaks. |

		| This is a simple shot and the pose is good.  However, his face could be a little sharper.  As for the challenge, I don't see how his environment says anything about him...3 |

		| What is his environment?  Maybe show a bit more of the background so we can see what it's all about. |

		| Great shot - I like the use of black and white and the background you choose really makes it all work...very authentic feel... |

		| Would have been a little better if there was something in the background to tell us something about the subject. Nice capture of his expression though |

		| I'd love to know more about Abe, but his surroundings are too bare to give me that info. |
