A very good contender. Congratulations on your top 20 finish. The colors are simply beautiful to enhance the facial expression.

I feel like the item in his hand should give me some clue as to why he looks so forlorn, but I can't make out what it is.

Alone, left to dream. Bumping up.

I really like the use of selective des. here...the use of the blur is super effective. This is so imaginative...fantastic picture.

I like the use of selective desaturation here. The fact that the colours left behind are not too 'in your face' is welcome. I also like the soft-focus effect, although I feel that the sleeves of the jacket could perhaps do with being somewhat sharper.

Second pass, I likethis more now that I can spend time contemplating the setting , has a nice dreamlike quality to it.

You have strange dreams for sure - lucky you managed to find an old army camp complete with drummer lying around ; )

The selective focus and selective desaturation both work really well on this shot to create a nice muted effect. Not a photo that leaps out and grabs me, but well shot and presented anyway.

Nice blurry effect in the background, if you're refering to the German movie by the same name it was scary!

Powerful. Love the desat if thats what you did. See a slight overblurring but for the most part, it works for me. 9 may bump later.
