I hope people will not pass this one over because the thumbnail version was not that impressive. I think those that have taken the time to look at this larger version will be impressed. Awesome photo...thanks!

That's pretty cool... minimalist somehow, and interesting. Overall flat, so would really have benefitted from adjustment layers to improve contrast and enhance colours. But an elegant image for me, well thought out.

Hey there from the Critique Club

Camera Work/Technical: Nice work with the camera, as well as post-processing to give this one a nice depth of field. You did a very nice job of isolating him from the background, while still including the necessary elements of his environment.

Lighting: The lighting is a little harsh, but you have already addressed that in your comments. An early morning (if those still exist, haven't seen one in a loooooong time) or late afternoon shooting of this one would have improved it a great deal.

Composition/Content: I would have liked to have seen a bit more of him and his environment. The composition is a little cramped, but pulling back a bit and including more of his body, the tractor, and the dusty field that I am imagining would have also drawn more high votes.

My Opinion: Nice work, and I think that this one was better than several that placed higher. You met the challenge very well, while others had missed it by a mile. With a little more info in the frame, I think this one would have pulled a much higher score.

I liked this. The environment is clearly visible yet the subject stands out well against it. As for the ruddy skin tone... well, it's obvious that it's natural and not a fault of photography. Why would you want to change that? I think this should have fared better :)
