His face is dark and maybe not in focus. I like the composition and the trash in the corner of the photo. The look on his face really makes me wonder what he is looking at.

I gave this image a 5 in voting. Its great for a candid - I love the expression and emotion in the image. Unfortunately, the focus is slightly beyond him and he is slightly blurry. Also, the contrast is weak. The brightest spot in the image is the white bag in the background which draws my attention.

The subject is a little too dark. The ground around him is well lit but he's shadowed. Not the best lighting balance but a nice candid none-the-less.

This is a nice capture of the person's joy, however their head blends into the person standing next to him. Improvement would be achieved if there was separation between the main subject and the background.

Not too bad overall. I would have cropped out the napkin on the ground, or used the clone tool to make it go away.

nice textures & contrasts, perhaps a little too dark on his face

Very good image, possibly could have been given a touch more pop through contrast adjustment

The piece of trash at the bottom left bothers me.... Great subject though.

Image is a little bit too dark to make the man out clearly - this probably would've been a bit better if there wasn't a person directly behind his head - the black skirt creates a low-contrast buffer around his face so his expression doesn't stand out as much as it should.

If only the girl wasn't there. Good moment.

Good capture but needs some more lighting over the subject.
