I think the crop on this photo takes out half of the primary subject matter and thus takes something away from the photo. The greyish background makes the photo come off a bit flat. Score: 4.
im not sure this photo works for me. I think you cut way too much out. Its not giving me any sense of wow. Great headgear and well known, just the shot is a bit ... off.. to me. 5
I'm not a big fan of cutting the face in half. The title would have a better meaning if you showed more of the handsome feller.
Lighting looks a little flat. Love the rugged worn look of the helmet.
