I thought this might have been yours lol. I should have said so - oh well. I thought the Topaz was done well. I could tell it was there but that's only because I use it so much. I like how you used the software to make his details stand out some more.

I did give it a 6 because after admiring the topaz work (lol) I didn't see more of a story to pull me in. I guess I've become DPC-ified and I was looking for drama :D

Oh and the reason why I thought it might have been yours (beyond the Topaz) was because your people portraits either have a sense of irony or there's a subtle quirkiness about it (and that is what this photo has).

I beg to differ.

Nice shot, not a typical action shot though since there's not much action going on. I like the colours and his pose and smile tells me he's having fun. Technically, I have nothing to say about it, all well done.


Look at the last comments by Cboydrun.. looks like he is obsessed with borders!

As for this picture, I like the composition, shallow dof and the nice stop action. What I don't like is the lack of sharpness. Background is a little distracting, and looking at the color of ice, it seems underexposed a tad bit.
