from behind the bike shed of the Critique Club
Nothing wrong with this shot at all - perhaps some attention to the precision of your challenge-meeting, if we want to get all picky about how to score higher here. It's an interesting portrait, arresting even, and in that sense there's nothing much to criticise.
I'd perhaps want more work on the processing. The shot as a whole has strong elements - and the detail works in the fruit, and his tats, and the face, but I woinder if perhaps the tonality of some of those areas could usefully be expanded? More contrast, inevitably, but then I'm a devotee of a high-ish contrast style - but for me the body shape here and facial details are just a little bland. Of course, in that sense, it perhaps the more 'honest' a photograph for it, but also maybe less communicative.
I really like the feel I get that you want to hunt out your photography in the real world, rather than the strange plastic environment of the studio/portrait that this place encourages. There are a few of us with that devotion here, and it's pleasant to discover another one (presuming I'm right). Particularly enjoyed you 'signs' shot from your profile - proper clever work.
All the best

The mullet will never die. A lot of people still have not left the 80's. My little country town in far north Queensland is full of '80's remnants'.
When I first saw your entry as a thumbnail, I thought "omigawd, this is so aussie!"
Congratulations on depicting a true time warp! lol.
You did well in the challenge. |

| LOL...that made me literally laugh out loud for a good two minutes. Looks like he might be ready to take a swing at you and then speed off in his Camero. Nice job with this photo. |

| Hmmm, I am going to go out on a limb and say that you blurred the backround afterwards.... If I am correct, it´s pretty well done, I´ll give you that but somehow he just doesn´t seem to fit there, like you cut him out of another photo and pasted it in this one. Anyway, the shot is nice and well composed, got an 6 from me. |
