 not expecting much...just trying to get back into entering stuff(its been a few weeks since i've submitted anything).

when we went to this place i thought the challenge was just to photograph someone in a way that gave insight about them in a completely natural setting rather than a studio. later i noticed it was supposed to be a portrait. this was the only picture i took for the challenge that i thought might have a chance of being considered a portrait(obviously i realize that if he were turned or looking at the camera it would get better scores).

I like the texture and lighting of this shot, but it is not a portrait IMO.

Photography noir: this is quite an environment for this portrait. Very moody.

This has an eerie good feel to it, and I love the angle from which it has been taken.....

I would have liked to see the face of the expolorer. Nice shot, though.

That balance of 'envoronment' and figure is hard to strike: I'm unsure of it here. The workd is great, though feels over-processed to my eye, and i wonder if there's enough character in that pose/figure to really communicate. I think it suffers most through a lack of local contrast about his face/head - placed against darker areas it might have been more effective.

...looks like a R.F. shot?...this looks like such a great place to shoot and the processing is nice and "sooty" but not too sooty, really nice clarity and detail.

I like this, particularly the contrast between the devasted interior and the daylight outside. What I'm not sure about is the portrait bit - ideally, I think I want to see more of the subject's face - some interaction between them and the photographer.
