| So is he a carpenter or a model? I just ask because part of this challenge was to capture the person in their environment. Imo, he is not "in his environment." He is inside a construction zone, but he is not immersed in it. No hard hat, short pants are questionable attire for construction zones, he is way to clean...just little details, but they add up. |

| The focus appears to be on the hand, rather then the face, which takes away from the portrait. The cropping is a little odd, as we only see half of the top part of the hammer. I'm not sure if the green/yellow processing is effective here though....4 |

| This is really good, but a little more of his hammer would have helped. |

| Sweet photo. The only criticism I have is that the bracelet, being brighter than most everything else in the shot, is somewhat distracting. |

| Nice tone to this, would like better if his face was not blocked so much - my eyes went right to the hammer handle |

I know this is knitpicking, but as someone who swings a hammer for a living the model's wearing of a lose chain on the hand he is holding the hammer in bothers me. In a glance it tells me that this is a fellow who is not a carpenter, or if he is he would be told to take the bloody thing off before he did himself a serious injury on any real job site. Between the movement of the chain, and the risk of it hanging up on something he would have no skin on that wrist if he swung a hammer with it on for two hours.
you got a nice soulfull expression here, and the duotone processing suits it well. the framing creates a nice intimacy but the cropping of the hammer, the symbol of the stated profession, draws the eye off the page. |

| Good choice of duotone with this. I think is one of the few true environmental portraits I've come across in this challenge to this point. |

| Great composition and framing. Focus seems to be on bracelet more than the eyes. When I see this he doesn't look like a real carpenter. He looks like a young, hip dude who happened to pick up a hammer in a construction environment. I can't tell if that's good or bad. Black and white works well, only issue is focus. |
