James!! Kick butt and take names, will ya?? What a score and what a finish. Congrats! And after all that whining when you first got here about "more comments - I want more comments" - I guess it paid off. :-)
This is still one of my favorite photos of the challenge by far. :) The gritty quality, the colors, and the attention to detail is spectacular. Congrats on the awesome finish!
and every cop show says those words.......excellent job done - colour, great use of cropping, highly emotive right down to the greasy, dirty hands.
Well done a sure fire winner, all being fair 10+
Hmmm, that backround looks familiar... Nice job with the processing but maybe a tad too dark for my taste, a little brighter and even more contrasty and I would have voted higher but it got a 6 from me this time.
Excellent image. You could have brought the mid tones up a bit and I only say that because I know that some with poor monitor calibration will have a hard time seeing the shadow mid tone seperation. In my case, I see it fine and it works well enough that I predict a ribbon for this. Good luck!
Oh yes... bumping up... :)
I'm giving this a 10 because The idea I had for mine and never got to it was to do something about the Miranda case. You did it very well. I like the dirty hands and the corderoy works well for the year also. Great job!
This is one of my favorites of the entire challenge! :D Not only does it completely meet the challenge, but it is technically excellent. Though it's a tad dark, I think it might actually help with the grungy look of the shot. Not only do I love that the hands are dirty and greasy, but the fact that you put him in corduroys is perfect!!!
Wonderful and gritty shot. Love the lighting, pose and BG. More than that, I love the feel of the shot. In the nitpicky stuff - the dirt comes across as false and contrived. Even so, 9
