 Actually shot with a challenge in mind, unlike most of my challenge entries. This is [user]MAK[/user], my oft-times shooting buddy and all-around pretty decent chap.

Applied some dodge and burn and a bit of additional blurring in the background.

Hmm the fact that he is sitting next to a litter bin yet he is so clean and orderly is what I notice first. Also, his vulnerable expression and body language is fabulous. Great shot.

So that's MAK? And here I thought he was some 20something whippersnapper.... Nice shot of a very distinguished gentleman!

I like this candid looking shot. I love the dof used and composition. really I like most everything here but the color. I would prefer something warmer. bumping from 6 to 8

This photo has a lot of blanks and it makes me want to fill them. Love it.

This image has so much going for it - I just find the hands very posed and his feet look tense...as if he is just about to get up or (again) posed. It has an interesting triptych effect: the man, the tree and the litter box.

I can't explain why, but this really appeals to me. Well done.

I like the idea and the litter bin is good. but the guy just looks like a statue or like he's disturbed. his hands are weird. 6

I really like your composition and tone, but it almost looks a little too posed. It may be a candid but its just the way it appears. Dont get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with posed, I do it all the time. I think your contrast is right on the money and so is the sharpness and clarity. Your lighting works very good as well. Nice work.

I really like this for some reason. I think it is his stiff, completely unnatural pose that i like. it seems to match the trash can.

nice tone and compositon. I do feel that the awkward pose by the man on the bench distracts me a bit.

The capture itself is excellent, the tones, detail and clarity. The subject appears tense, and I'm not clear on whether you intended for this or not.

I suspect the blur is added in post - in a way it makes the tree more apparent, kinda. That given, I really like the shot. It's interesting in an odd sort of way.

Truly outstanding. So emotive and the word "litter" speaks volumes. Nice tonal range and perfect balance and composition.

Great focus and pleasing DoF. Your model's pose seems a little contrived (the hands don't seem relaxed or natural).
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Model looks a little uncomfortable / forced.

I like this image alot. The editing is well done. But its the tension of your model that is the most intriguing. It feels sort of candid but not really either. Just a very interesting image. I hope this scores well for you.
