Lighting is incredible as is thecomp. I like the use of negative space and subtle contrast.

Almost went right by this, I guess because it is low key and understated by comparison with some of the more strident shots. Happily, I looked a for second longer and realised how good, how well conceived and executed, it actually is. Its impact steadily grows with each moment's consideration, which is exactly the opposite of most of those more attention-seeking shots. It's a lovely, enduring portrait. 8.

Love this shot, you got the depth of field and focus just perfect to highlight both the cloth and yourself beneath. Tones are GREAT.

I voted this photo a 9. I thought the sharpness and b&w contrast are incredible... and perhaps I was influenced by the fact that I grew up with a harley-obsessed bikerchic of a mother.

Cool looking biker guy - wish only that I could see more of his face, or that the shot could've been taken with a fill flash or from the other side. I know it's not always possible to get this kind of shot in the light we want! It's just to take it as best as you can when you get the chance, which is what you probably did. But the lighting would've improved my score. I really like the guy's look and casual posture.
