This definitely should have rated higher and I guess it sort shows how you might be feeling about now. A break may be best....Of course whenever I get down, I find something to shoot and then I feel better. Then I enter into a challenge and...well you know...and then I feel down again and I shoot again....it's a very vicious circle. I think I might take you up on the break thing....after WPL2...maybe, if I can last til then. Hope your break cures your woes and come back soon.

Someone who understands what this challenge is about.
Good capture.
Smaller DoF whould've helped the subject to stand out better from the background. The picture seems to be a bit broken because of the left part, but overall it is a good picture.

Nice needs more front lighting though

I do get the feeling of failure from this capture, but it needs some work technically. The lighting is a bit harsh and really gives some harsh highlights and deep shadows on your subject. Nice composition, but I'd like to see a shallow depth of field to help isolate him from the background.
