OMG what a face! Except for the green blade of grass in front, I love the tones in this image. Very subdued to match the subject. Excellent balance in that respect. While the blade of grass is annoying, I think it helps hold the subject where he is - does that make sense? Love the lighting. 9 - good luck in the challenge!

I find the blade of grass in front very distracting.

This image would be better without the green leaf over the ape, the dark amd light contrast is good, IMO....7

Was this shot through glass? There appears to be almost a film over the whole image. Don't get me wrong - it's a fantastic shot. Beautiful composition and priceless expression. The highlights are a little strong on the wood too. BUT, these are very minor points about a really great capture. 8

Don't tell, but she looks like my mother-in-law. LOL Lovely portrait!! She is posing SO nicely with lovely background. The lighting is excellent. The grass in front is a nice touch. 10
