 This was going to be an entry for Gold, but thought it might be better fitted for this contest. Hm... what will people think of my Post Processing? I love it, so I don't really care, but how well with the DPC community agree with me?

Shot with my friend's D100 at a friend's birthday party.

I don't think this is a bad shot. I do like the reflections. It's a nice touch. Other than the glasses, the rest of the face is soft. I'm not quite sure why, whether it is DOF or just a soft lens. Maybe it's processing. Either way, I don't like it. I also think the glare on his skin is a bit too much. It reveals that the whole picture has been shifted as his skin tone is very, very yellow. Not the most flattering.

On the good side, the composition is well done and I like the added feature of the blinds in the back. The lines add some extra pizzazz to the shot.

'Jaundiced' would have been a nice title. *wink*

I like this.
I like the fact that I can't really see your reflection or if I can, at least it's not noticeable.
the overall color of this pictyre is very pretty..
but the expression on this face [mouth] is odd.

The composition is good, the only thing I'm not liking is the white band along the background. You couldnt have cropped so maybe changing up the angle when you shot may have avoided it. As it is it pulls my eye a little and disturbs the continuation of the gold theme.

the reflections in the sunglasses are distracting ...

The reflections are very cool. The rest of his face could be a tad sharper, but maybe that would detract from the reflections, I don't know

Your model need a touch of concealer, and the tone of the photo is far to yellow

I like this, although the bg seems a bit harsh to my eye.
Reflection within the aviators is awesome.
