I love the unsaturated colors in this, much better then if you had simply made it b/w. I like this one a lot..9

I love these character images. Good composition, very cinematic.

a winner?

Nice tone to the picture. The eyes could use a bit more light and I would prefer he was looking into the frame instead of out of it.

Nice lighting on the face. The bright bright background is distracting.
 04/16/2004 11:06:20 PM
the desaturation's cool, but I'm not sure what in this picture says strength
 04/16/2004 04:03:44 PM
I like this.

great tone and detail on the sailor. not too crazy about the high contrast background, though.
 04/16/2004 02:11:16 PM
Nice desat technique. I only wish you'd either used a teeeeny bit of fill flash or a reflector. Too much detail is lost in his eyes and lower face.

Nice portrait. Good luck ,this picture is in my top ten photos for this challenge. A 9 from me

The lack of color in the background works well to draw the viewer into the sailor's face. Good depiction of the challenge. 8.

nice tone
 04/16/2004 12:58:55 AM
Oh, he looks like a tough one! Nicely photographed and that blurry background is perfect for this excellent portrait.
 04/15/2004 04:55:12 PM
the picture without the title does not say strength or power. nice portrait tho.
 04/15/2004 04:07:21 PM
Nice unique and interesting style to this photo, and the capture of the guy is technically sound.
 04/15/2004 03:40:20 PM
What a wonderfull picture!
I can imagine to see this man wrestling with an orka-whale :)
What did you do to get the background look like this.
 04/15/2004 01:46:04 PM
Wow, that's one sharply focused sweater ;) Subdued colors suit this image well -- nicely done!
 04/14/2004 11:24:42 PM
these guys are insane :)
 04/14/2004 07:07:28 PM
Rugged looking guy. I like the de-saturation of the colors. Wish I could see his eye a bit more. Nice shooting..very nice 9 from me.
 04/14/2004 10:22:43 AM
Bckground disctracts.. nice portrait though
 04/14/2004 05:00:33 AM
Very íslenskt indeed :)
Góð líking.
 04/14/2004 04:43:27 AM
I love the expression and character reflected in the man's face, as well as the textures of his beard, cap and sweater. Excellent picture!!

well done-strong image and nice composition
