This one comes courtesy of the Critique Club :)

I think you have received some very helpful comments thus far regarding this image. The sepia toning does work quite well here - it gives it the proper mood for an old western-type feel. The subject does seem to be slightly out of focus, and a tighter crop might have served well here as well, although this one is not necessarily bad. Because of the subject's uncomfortable pose and facial expression, the shot seems maybe slightly off-balance and another shot a few seconds later when he seemed more relaxed (looks like he is making some kind of movement here) may have worked as well. One thing to always keep in mind is that a blurry image will almost certainly suffer in the scores, whether it is minor or not (or even intentional). Hope this helped, and happy shooting!

very inclined to think laurie on this one, and definitely one of the better MX shots in the challenge.

:) i'm guessing discraft? very precise use of selective desat, works well to draw attention here.

i would assume that you rotated this, but some things indicate otherwise (ie: the pants hanging down). either way, nice looking shot. the shadows are of minor concern to me, although others might differ in opinion.

wonderful capture, although i'm probably a bit biased as i love to play golf - lighting could be better, and i might even prefer a tighter crop to direct the attention straight to the driver/ball and not the guy and his face.
