| Outstanding portrait, the background lights add so much to the shot and make it a great environmental portrait! |

| This is a wonderful street portrait. I may have moved the subject slightly in order to minimize some of the haloing, but still a great shot. Wonderful use of the thirds rule. :) |

| Nice shot. I really like the bokeh but I'm not too fond of the halo effect of the cop. |

| The dichotomy of the contact of the eyes in this kind of thing: many seem to think that that makes a portrait, for myself I think it dissociates him from his environment. This is kind of classily typical though - perhaps the exact kind of thing the challenge suggester had in mind. I'm no particular fan or otherwise of it, but it's plainly assured work. |

| Your color looks a little green on my screen. The photo itself is just wonderful. Not many people read the challenge very well. You did a great job. |

| This is really cool. I love the lights in bokeh behind him - it really makes him look in his environment. Perfect for the challenge! |

| Nice shot, love the backround, not as fond of the halo all around the officer but that´s just nitpicking. 7 from me. |

| This is my favorite so far. Wonderful background choice with the city lights, definitely in his environment. He certainly is a worthy subject to represent our courageous police officers. 10 |

| This is a great shot, except there is haloing of some type around the officer. I don't know if that's sharpening or masking, but unfortunately, it detracts from the picture (IMHO) |

| Very nice composition...the border works nicely. I like the contrast of the brightly colored background and the comparatively colorless man in black. There's no question what environment he's in. |

| This is a great environmental portrait! The officers 'envirmonment' is clearly dipicted with the street lights, yet it's subtle enough that he really stands out. Very nice! |

| I like how he almost fills the frame but there is enough background to see this is taken in a large city. Nice. |

| Nice shallow DOF, that really makes this image. Also your subject has a kind face and that attracts people to the image and his story. Nice touch using his name, personalises the image |

| Great contrast between the black uniform, the shiny badge and the colored lights. It's the kind of picture you could look at for a long time, making up stories to fit the officer and the background. |

| The only thing that detracts from this shot is the somewhat strange expression. Nice idea, good subject. I like the blurred cityscape backdrop. |

| Suits the challenge perfectly. I like that he's looking right at you. Makes it seems like a portrait - not a candid. |
