This was a well thought out image love the processing it has a story behind it good detail and composition sorry i didnt get too comment during the challenge
Well, the title and post processing doesn't help.
I really dislike the use of glow. It looks completely unnatural on his face, especially the right cheek. It also makes the shirt have a weird sheen. The expression is comical, but not in a "ha-ha" funny way. It looks entirely contrived, which it obviously is, but I don't like it.
So yes, I think this deserved a two.
Since you sent me a PM thanking me for the vote, I gave 14 entries a score of two, so no, I'm not singling you out with low votes.
