I look at this and start feeling dizzy as though I have had too much to drink...I think that's great, it has the feel of a very cool indie film, blurry and shakey at all the right moments...
you know I am not sure why people would want to provide you with technical criticism on this..to me this is a gut reaction shot, it either hits you or it doesn't...it hitsme, I would like to see you getting out there and producing a whole late night series, and laugh at you struggling to find a shot that isn't too blurry...
maybe you should just pretend to get really drunk and hang with everyone, while you are only kinda drunk...and get a gorilla pod it should be cool enough to draw the right kind of attention/discussion...
ok I'll back off, just thinking..:) |

Oh my word, I commented on this during the challenge!!!! I loved this pic because it was unlike anything else that had been submitted.
REALLY strong B&W conversion
Do I even need to tell you that you beat me in this challenge (though once again totally deserved...In fact I think this should have scored higher)
Top job Alicia |

| Nice photo of subject. Woman on right is distracting, but there's only so much you can do when snapping this kind of photo. |

I like it, it's got that late night 'moment in time' feel which appeals to me. My initial thought is 7 but I'll see if that changes.
There's a bit of blurring in the subject which is a feature -- where it counts (his face, hand) it is sharp. I wish his face was a little sharper, but this must have been a pretty long shutter and that would be hard. I like that the secondary subject is very blurred, it is a really nice effect.
I definitely like the desat in this case -- at night, our ability to see color diminishes so B&W always seems right for nighttime shots to me.
Composition is good, but I really wish his hand was not at the edge of the photo. That hurts the photo a lot for me, especially in terms of the title. It doesn't help that his hand blew out a bit too -- I wish that was more featured. But his face draws me in, and that's the way it is supposed to be. I like the border, didn't even notice it at first, but it enhances the darkness idea.
One final comment, more about the subject than the photo -- I've called the subject a man, but he has some feminine aspects (shirt, necklace, earring). He has manly aspects too (arms, watch, hair, etc). Is he transgender? I think it adds a lot to the image, the non-obvious combination of male and female traits and adds a little mystery.
So, I'll stick to a 7. The hand is the main flaw that keeps me from going higher (and the slight blurring of his face).

This comment courtesy the Viral Comment Experiment (VCE). The VCE is an experiment to see if a large number of quality comments can be generated in a fashion similar to chain letters. The first time you receive a VCE comment, randomly choose five (5) images from this challenge (or another challenge) and leave quality, useful comments/critiques like this one. Make sure to mention good things as well as bad things. Then, see how many you receive in return over the next few weeks. Make sure you copy this VCE notice at the end of each comment. [Obligatory chain letter threat] If you do not make five quality comments within 24 hours, your hard drive will crash and your camera's shutter will fail at an inopportune moment. |

| Very odd picture (and to be liked for that very reason) excellent way that you use motion blur to draw you in to the main subject. Good job |

| Nice capture - I like the movement here. Maybe some extra depth in the blacks could give it some punch. |
