Greetings from the Critique Club!

This shot was almost an excellent portrait. While I do love the angle and composition, there are a few things here that are hurting your image overall. Firstly, remember the eye will naturaly find the brightest point in an image. In this case the brightest point is also the sharpest point and that is the point of his glasses. This unfortunately draws the eye straight past his face (the portrait)and causes it to stick on that one spot. The blown highlights on his hands is unfortunate as well. I think with a little more care with composition you could have nailed this one.

Good luck in future challenges.

Well not bad but I voted a 5, just seems to be a snapshot, a good one though but I can in no way connect to this person from this photo, gives me that paparazzi unprepared unaware "victim" feel.

The border is right on the edge of being too big for my liking. I used a border bigger than this once cause I was in a rush and just kind of winging it and it actually voted pretty good except for the border everybody criticized. It was my "Circular Swing" picture for the time challenge. Check it out in my portfolio.
