Perhaps the best portrait on DPC. I come back to this image time and again. Very inspiring. Partly, of course, the dramatic character and whatever subtle processing you used. There is a story, in that hard face. You could build a book around it.

Well, what to say. I really dont think I can add anything to this that the other 74 commenters haven't already said.
The only real negatives I see are the odd glow around the outside of the man, Which is mostly visible in the dark areas of the background, and the jaggies around the hat.
Really, other than those 2 small details, This is a perfect photo. Fits the challenge perfectly and great focus and clarity. Excellent lighting, love the mood of the photo...not much to add.

Don't sweat the missed ribbon. You had the best pic in the challenge. And you're right about the B/W. It would have only made it better.

There's something "off" about this. He looks great - love the rugged look. But the background seems to be competing for attention; maybe something smoother and more drab would have worked better.

Lovely, deceptively simple portrait in which the photographer and the subject were equal and successful participants. You each know what a seriously good portrait should do; provide an insight into the nature of the subject. And you each delivered. 9

FANTASTIC! The prosessing is a LITTLE TINY BIT too much just because the subject is really rustic looking- you kind of made it "too pretty" if that makes sense? I love it anyway though, I'm sure it'll score very high if not a ribbon! Good luck! :D
