Greetings from the critique club. After spending some time reviewing your photo for the challenge I have a couple of suggestions. First off I think you have a great subject, nice colors good focus with nice stop action on the beer spilling off the subjects face.

Some things that dont work well according to the challenge. I would think singled out would require a crowd, a different angle of this same subject with the crowd in place and the shallow DOF would have done wonders for the score. Centering doesnt usually work really well for DPC voters otherwise a good entry scoring about where I would expect. Good luck with future challenges.

Because Stone Cold Said So! Great capture.

Where is the crowd? I think this might have been too much use of shallow depth of field. He seems to be isolated from his background but that background could be devoid of other people for all I can tell from this.

definitely singled out. :) I really like the background.

I am sure there must be a crowd somewhere at the racetrack. I don't see it. This is a good capture though. Did the price of beer start going down after he had drunk enough of those?

Looks like Stone Cold

Cool shot, though no crowds depicted here to be singled-out from by minimal depth of field.

This is a nice shot, well-centered and focused. Great action capture. I personally would have favored a slightly longer crop--a little off the top and more on the sides, but then again, it's all up to you.

Reminds me of Stone Cold Steve Austin (but much smaller)...

Nice shot. The composition is a bit boring, with the main subject in the middle.

Nice, but context a little too blurry.

Single-out a person in a crowd as your source of composition.. Where's the crowd. Great use of depth of field, but an unappealing subject.

ugh. this image makes me think of a bunch of lame things... like beer and NASCAR and lifting weights and skinheads

The challenge asked for a person to be singled out in a crowd
