This is well seen and captured.

I like the color and the pose, and the look of the out-of-focus lights in the background. Nice reflection in the glasses - it really says "big city." --Jennifer

cool reflection!

I think that an extra stop of DOF would be helpful to keep the chin sharp but continue to have the nice OOF lights in the background. A tad noicy, but nothing to significant to detract from the quality of the image that much. Overall 8

The reflection in the glasses is great.....

Great work - the colour is great, the expression is good and the composition/framing is very well done. The sharpening is taken too it's limit but I wouldn't say it's oversharpened. Having the person generally lighter than the background works extremely well - but something tells me you know enough about photography to realise that yourself. Great work - at the top end of the results for me.

This is an outstanding portrait in every way and an excellent subject for this challenge. I know you couldn't spot edit the glare on his head and ear for this challenge, but that's a minor issue in an otherwise excellent photo. Very nicely done.

Good shot - I can relate to this.

great idea nice execution!!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/06/2006 03:02:06 AM
Good idea, but I guess the reflection from the glasses should have taken 75% of the image. I want to see the city, not the scarf.

i don't like his sunglasses!!!
but the reflection in them is good.

Very cool take on a classic. Technically well done. I hope the quick voters don't miss the reflections. Good dof too, nice bokeh. Very nice job.

Nice Shades.....

Nice spin on the idea rather than pictures of traffic, buildings e.t.c.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Cool shot. I like the colors. Only problems are that there is some aliasing (jaggies) for instance on his glasses frame above his nose, and his chin is out of focus, maybe focusing a little closer would help.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/05/2006 06:32:33 AM
Nice reflection as well as background.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/05/2006 04:17:41 AM
points for visual impact, but the artificialness of the shot belies the notion of "life" in the challenge.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

nice shot, great DOF, looks a little oversaturated, but well done
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/04/2006 05:38:28 PM
Very good use of shallow dof in the background lights. Thought the capture of the reflection in the sunglasses really defined that this was a city shot. Just a really good photo on all levels. Very GQ.

Excellent portrait, the focus is crisp and the subject fills the frame perfectly.

The face doesn't do much for me, but the photo does. Nice colors, nice reflection capter, etc.

Very nice composition! Good choice of subject matter. The image quality is ok. Very creative! - 6

Cool shot! I just got done giving another photo a hard time about simply being a portrait & not showing city life. Great idea with the reflection, even if you had to dig out the '70s shades. Nice colour, & pretty bokeh. Well done.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

NICE one! I like the title too. Nice bokeh plus the detail on the man's face is good.
