I do like the picture because I am from Montreal . . . but I would have liked to see the flame.
The camera is distracting despite the fact That I like the camera (SAME as mine)

You've captured the emotion here quite well, but you've cropped/cut out the bit that makes your headline, the flame that I assume is at the top of the alloy tube... The camera is a litle distracting as well.

Lucky guy. This would of scored higher if we could of seen the torch. Sorry, but the crop or composition is weak. Good luck in the challenge.

I think this would be much stronger if it showed the actual flame.

Not the best capture of an expression! And you cropped out the critical part of the olympic flame! A higher shot including the flame would have been much more dramatic, and possibly a narrower depth of field - the background is distracting. (Depth of field is controlled through apeture - try a larger apeture like f2 or f4 next time - and let the camera adjust the shutter speed accordingly. most cameras let you do this in AV (apeture priority) mode).

This photo doesn't support the headline (which BTW, should read '...Begins...'not '...Starts...'). Where's the torch? Is it that thing in front of the guy? Is he carrying it or is he just an onlooker? Why is that camera in the shot? This phot is more about this guy's reaction to something then anything else. It is too personal for the story it is meant to support.

And when might the dentist be visiting? The guy's teeth and the camera at the bottom edge detract from an otherwise good shot.

I think the photo editor for this story would have preferred to see the actual olympic flame rather than a camera.

Hmm, for a newspaper, there's too much focus on the person. For your head title, there should atleast a picture of the flame. Ligting is a bit dull also. Maybe if you used a fill flash you would get a much better photo.

Would have been nice to see the flame and no camera.
