This shot obviously has a fairly limited audience that'll understand it. I didn't get it at all. I still don't see how it's square and I think the topic was pretty clear on that. Technically it's pretty good tho I would crop off the cars on the left and make it a vertical shot. It obviously didn't deserve such a low score, but I'm sure that's just a reflection of how seriously ppl take the topic. They're pretty strict.
This is a tag team critique so here are some thoughts from annida:

A unique view of the challenge! I thought this was a fairly funny shot, but a lot of people thought you had to actually have a physical square in the challenge for it to be met. Do not worry, I get your humor and appreciate it!
Now, what could you do to make this shot better? I would have cropped out the background, and just had the two metallic poles, and maybe I think I would have cut off just under his nose, and just above his eyebrows, so you had the eyes and nose looking off to the right. Maybe even making the crop square would have been fun, just to have that ONE physically square element the picture was missing.
I would have lightened the picture a bit, maybe made it Black and White. Good luck in future challenges!

Cute portrait. the cars in th background are somewhat distracting. I'll give your the bennefit of the doubt that this has anything to do with squares. Good luck. Jacko 7

I don't understand this photo at all. If you want to explain it to me, it may help my marking it. It basically is just a snapshot IMO.

Sorry, but I don't get the connection with the challenge title. Could have brought into a sharper focus too.

Being a wrestiling fan of over 20 years, this shot drew my eye when the voting page loaded and I thought, "Hey, that's Tajiri!" (or a very similar look-alike). As a portrait, I like the shot because he has such interesting expressions. For the challenge, I have to give it a middle of the road score because I can certainly see the square framing attempt but it comes across as more of a vertical frame plus the rest of the background through the fence is kind of distracting.
Score: 6

You are going to have to educate me, because I don't get it.
