Hi....i'm not quite sure what you did, but if i sat here a bit longer & really gave it a little thought-- anyway, you have some "bleedover" from the sky onto your subject, presumably in the places you cloned out distractions (such as the powerlines), and maybe from your application of the sky filter.

I read what someone else said about the exposure on the subject. i agree, you might have done a *leeetle* touch of selective exposure adjustment, but overall, it'sa good capture, a good candid.

As an amateur myself, and still trying to convince the paper that they ought to hire me rather than hope they can get any more"freebies" outta me (now I just show 'em what I got, tell them the story, and if they don't care to pay me for it, as a freelancer, i politely thank them and go away. Hopefully one of these days, they'll see another they just can't live without!) (-: Maybe I'll get assignments someday if i keep rooting out stories on my own!

My camera goes everywhere with me; you just never know what's around the next bend, literally! Good job, keep up the good work, and congrats on the assignment!

cute guy. :) a little dark though. Looks like the camera metered for the sky and not your subject. I'd have played with the balance int he editor a bit more to make your subject be the subject...

Meets the challenge but kinda boring... This could also use more light/longer exposure or a little fill light.

The mans face has a little too much shadow. Maybe some fill flash?

Lacking some much needed contrast and a bit boring.

Not sure if this was posed or not but regardless you have done a top job. Very expressive face without being in anyway overstated

I really like this shot

Good angle but needs some fill flash and contrast.
