Hello from the Critique Club!

This is an interesting image, and I like the colour palette that you have used: the bright reds and muted, dark tones work well together. Grain has been added well. Composition is fine, but you might be picked up on a tilted horizon and the floodlights on the RHS add little, and are a little close to the RHS to add proper balance.

Unfortunately my monitor shows up a little dark, but the subject's face is very heavily in shadow. This focusses attention on the rest of the subject, which may be your intention, but I am not sure why? There is maybe not enough of a "story" told by the image to hold attention for long, and it is not quite interesting enough to stand up as a fascinating image in its own right. While I think that you have applied the grain effect very well, I don't know why this image needs this treatment.

I think that as part of a sequence, ir with an explanation, this image could be much more powerful, but does not work so well by itself. Good technical skills though!

Good luck with the next challenge!

very snapshot kind of photo, if the guy on left is your subject, he's not seen at all with such dark shadows, color seems over saturated and horizon tilted
