Congratulations on high score! Its a perfect composition. All it needed was a little different PP to be a great submission. I would agree with most on "blur" thing. I "feel" use of glow filter to get similar processing might have given better results. Well, this is the only area I could see which might be improved as everything else about this photo is just right :)
You have got some great photos in your portfolio. "I never saw the sea..." is great!
With the dark hat, beard, dark sweater and all, his face is a bit lost to me. Other than that this is a beautiful portrait with nice color and softness.
Sorry, not digging the softfocus at all, have always hated that style so it´s just personal dislike for the technique. Just wanted to tell you I would have voted higher if it had been sharper/clearer.
I am captivated and puzzled by this image at the same time. The shallow DOF is both captivating and then troubling, I can't figure out if its eal or artificial. Nevertheless, its a fascinating image
to much ... no I mean way to much NeatImage on this! this soft feeling is realy not what I like vote you down for that. Though I like the photo it self, and meets the challenge well. Just next time use less filters.
Very nice portrait. The yellow in the background is a bit distracting, I'd probably try to remove that so that it doesn't draw the eye away from the subject.
Perhaps a bit overly soft compared to what I would prefer but the pose and the subject work really well. The pose in particular could easily have come across as a little forced but to me it doesn't at all. Nice shot.
