great picture, a shame it could not be cropped a bit more on the right, but wouldn't want to cut him of, but that doorframe (or window) disturbes a little (IMO) but a great picture all the same
my favorite of this challenge. To some voters it may have too much light to be low-key in their minds, but the light really highlites the shape of of the mason.
bang-up shot, man (or whatever). the dynamic range is eeevil.;]
the compression artifacts [them annoying little blocky blocks of pixels] are bothering, though. could it be that your camera was set to shoot or is only capable of shooting low-res jpegs? or is it in the post-processing?
whatever the reason/s man, they fux up an otherwise good photo. what you could do, though, is to either set your camera to shoot hi-res jpegs OR get one of them nifty noise-reducing softwares i.e. neat image.
I love this image - it has so much movement. I can see sharpening artifacts around the guy which could be worked out with advanced editing. The tonal range is excellent, composition outstanding. I would burn just a tiny bit in the upper right. This is one I would hang on my wall. Excellent work. 10
