I love the way htis tells a story. It's a warm and carinf picture. Your border is doing you no favors, though. If you're gonna drop a shadow, you really need more whote to flost it on I think.
This picture is so awesome! I like it that you can tell that the guy on the right is smiling, and that he's leaning back, relaxed as he shares the moment with his friend. The sun and the sky are just beautiful. I'm adding this to my favorites and would really like to see this one in the winner's circle! 10
Great job. Your photo tells a story anyone can identify with... I do find myself distracted by all the stuff near the chin on the left-hand guy.... looks like he is wearing a neckbrace. Still worth a 7.
