| An interesting and different shot, but the background, while it does meet the challenge, is distracting from the subject. |

like i'm going to have anything bad to say about this guy...
excellent portrait. your bokeh, though, is a bit busy and distracting from an otherwise powerful image. you would have done well, even if you had cropped off the left 20% of the image. keep in mind, good bokeh enhances the subject; you could probably revisit this with some minor burning and have a killer image. good luck! |

Excellent bokeh that really adds to a powerful image - well done

| I like the portrait, but I think this bokeh actually detracts from the subject, rather than enhancing him. To me, this guy simply looks out of place against a gay and festive-looking background. He's gone to a lot of effort to look mean & nasty (hat, shades, beard, hair, ears, staunch expression, & of course all in black), and you treat him like he was Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Maybe you wanted to indicate his true inner man? Or is he coming out of the closet? 5. |

| A great example of brokeh IMO. while technicaly a great shot. I just don't find it to an awe inspiring shot and am unable to feel any atachment to the shot. I feel that the technique is great but the subject is lacking. |

| Badass. Nice skin tones. The first thing that strikes me is that the background looks a little christmasy, oh, the irony... And the title sounds like his club. Good composition, well done. |

| I don't like the shadows on his face and neck (distracting), but other than that I think this is a superb shot for this challenge! |

| True bokeh, but the background's at war with the subject IMO. I'd like to see it with the BG blurred a little with gaussian and desatruated/decontrasted a bit. Even the face itself is a little too contrasty for my tatstes... |
