*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*
A portrait with a difference assumed to meet the challenge.
I do like an original approach to any photography and this fits the bill in that respect. I like the hat, the exposure is good and your choice of aperture has enabled detail in the facial features as well as the goggles. As a straightforward portrait in natural light it does the job.
This, I'm afraid, is where I part company with your commenters, because I do not like the goggles and as they are such an integral part of the image unfortunately it does not work for me. In most portraits the most important element are the eyes, as they say, the soul is held there so the fact that we cannot see his eyes at all means it does not work for me at all. Perhaps I am completely missing the point, if it is intended as a fun image I wish it were a little more obvious. Given your additional information about the sandstorm I doubt it is intended as a fun image the sand on his face confirms that but how many of your viewers would have realised this is in doubt.
Thanks for your submission, Sid |

| Very steampunk looking. Looks like the kind of portrait I like the take. One of my favorites so far. |

| This photo keeps drawing me in... it is very compelling. I love the fact that you can't see clearly in the goggles. The dust is very artistic.... |
