Composition (content)
The screen door adds a very interesting touch to this photo. It makes it look like a painting on a very rough kind of canvas. Therefore it is a bit of a shame that it is ripped, that gives away that it is a screen.
Good pose and frame positioning for a full frontal portrait.
The grey toning works very well and the stripes on the shirt match with the hair/face tones and the frame. All grey would have been a bit boring, making the torso an unnecassary element.
Nice lighting, only improvement could be a reflector beneath to fill in the area under the chin. On the other hand the way it is now it is in balance with the facial expression.
Background
Dark and empty, doesn't take the attention from the foreground and gives enough contrast for the subject.
Camera Work (Technical)
Good exposure and use of aperture. A wider aperture might have blurred either the screen or the background or cause a focus problem.
Screen adds pleasent softness.
Digital Processing (technical)
Good grey toning.
My opinion
Very good. |

| I think the stripes on the shirt don't quite go with the photo style...perhaps a rumpled cotton work shirt would "fit" better...otherwise well-done! |

| This gets the vote for the most impressive shot of the week. Its great. The black and white was an excellent choice. The expression on his face, the eyes, the little hole in the screen. Great work. 10 |

| He looks like he was left behind...the sad face and grayscale work well. The look in eyes is very haunting. Well done. |

| This gives a really neat effect to the photo. It makes it look like it is printed on canvas. Hate the 2 little holes in your screen. Bet you didn't know they were there until you took the photo. This is a really neat, good photo. Great intuition and way to color outside the lines. I like it. |

| That door give a great texture... I don't know if Blur would have made it even better or not. |

| This looks very much like an old vintage photograph, and works very well in black and white. Nicely done. |

| Nice shot. I love the expression on his face. The screen adds a nice texture to this BW shot. If the screen had not been damaged, it would have looked like an oil painting on a textured canvas. |

| Inventive. I like the texture created by the screen door. The little rip in it adds to the quality. |
