I\'m having a horrible day, just got braces in my lower jaw and school starts tomorrow.
I\'ve been picking competitions at random all day and doing horrible outtakes of all of them. This one came out the best tho no doubt doomed to failure as usually.

love the smudged out humanity in front of the bare gritty wall. the extreme lefthand placement of the person has him competing with the spot above him and the crack behind him for viewer attention. therefore, a truly subjectless picture. 10
I love the shot and am still giving it a 7, but doesn't the presence of a person, even blurred, de facto present the eye with a subject in the picture?
This is an incredibly powerful shot. I find myself mesmerized by the person. Unfortunately, that also makes it, IMO, not meeting the challenge. So it gets a great score minus a bit, leaving only a good score :(
