This is YOUR kind of shot...tells a story, excellently done and makes me wonder about the subject. You were robbed in this challenge. Even if it didn't ribbon it should have placed much, much higher.

What's really nice here is the almost voyeristic angle, amazing that the lights are not blown out but you can still see he features cleanly, the really nice depth of field (getting the "laundry" not too blurry while having great focus on him...and that's just the technical side. Well done.

A lot more effective than some of the other pictures, should have scored higher.
