Excellent, very much an era photo, looks great in sepia, love the pose...I think you did a great job on this. I was one of your 10s, and thought this would surely place higher.
Now listen here, see. You might take me for a guy that would vote you low just because I'm gettin' killed myself, but ya got me all wrong, kid. You got good lighting and shadow. Mood from here all the way to Broadway. Why if I didn't know better I'd say you put some effort into this picture.
it's a nice photo, and the man definitely has a gangster look about him, but it may have been better to shoot it in an alley under an old fashioned street light (if those even still exist) to complete the effect
Very cool shot. Great expression on his face and the smoke it captured really well too. There's a vertial patch in the background on the left which I think would disappear with a sligh increase in contrast.
