This is a wonderful street portrait. I may have moved the subject slightly in order to minimize some of the haloing, but still a great shot. Wonderful use of the thirds rule. :)
The dichotomy of the contact of the eyes in this kind of thing: many seem to think that that makes a portrait, for myself I think it dissociates him from his environment. This is kind of classily typical though - perhaps the exact kind of thing the challenge suggester had in mind. I'm no particular fan or otherwise of it, but it's plainly assured work.
This is my favorite so far. Wonderful background choice with the city lights, definitely in his environment. He certainly is a worthy subject to represent our courageous police officers. 10
This is a great shot, except there is haloing of some type around the officer. I don't know if that's sharpening or masking, but unfortunately, it detracts from the picture (IMHO)
Very nice composition...the border works nicely. I like the contrast of the brightly colored background and the comparatively colorless man in black. There's no question what environment he's in.
This is a great environmental portrait! The officers 'envirmonment' is clearly dipicted with the street lights, yet it's subtle enough that he really stands out. Very nice!
Nice shallow DOF, that really makes this image. Also your subject has a kind face and that attracts people to the image and his story. Nice touch using his name, personalises the image
Great contrast between the black uniform, the shiny badge and the colored lights. It's the kind of picture you could look at for a long time, making up stories to fit the officer and the background.
