Tim is a vendor at a flea market I go to every so often, and today he was sporting a relatively fresh scar on his cheek which he got at work (demolition). I like men with interesting faces, and Tim's face with this scar all tell us that he's had a pretty interesting life!
So after wandering around looking for other interesting people to shoot for the challenge, I managed to get some good shots of Tim between visitors to his booth.
I know this pic is going to be up against a lot of similar craggy-faced guys and flawless pretty girls and cute li'l kids, but I think it'll grow on people.

| I was about to write what Tom did: technically perfect but what do i know about technique?! The processing here is so restraint that it was striking to see a "real" photo when all the tools for changing one are so easily available. Excellent job. You captured some of the vulnerability we all hide deep down. |

| A pretty good shot of Tim, but I feel like it could use a bit more vibrance. |
