Was thinking of posting a similar photo of a female but... I guess there will be other pictures showing girls so I decided to post a dirty MAN :o)
Lighted with ambient light and bouncing flash...
After voting..
This is my husband which I covered in some moisturaser and "dirt"... Our 3 year old son helped me and had a blast :o)
The funny thing about these challenges is when you get comments about the title??? I myself look at the pictures first and judge, sometimes I use the title if I need some clarification - but I guess we are all different :o)
pp. conv. from RAW, a little color adjustments, touched up the eye area...

From the critique club.
Hi,
I like the image and the concept. Selective focusing is excellent and I cant think of something that can improve it.
If I look at the composition I think I have somethings to say. This is square framing and it goes perfectly well with the concept. To me improvement may have been possible by some assymetry in the image. The eyes bisect the frame horizontally and the nose verticaly. Except of the expression in the two eyes there is little assymetry present which provides the viewer with half the information than the canvas can hold. The face cannot be made assymtric (unless of course you beat him up) but the positioning can make the negative space and the shadows assymetric creating an interesting image. I would bet that this might score a ribbon with a little assymetry. I can also think of the same image having only one side covered with dirt, maybe the caption would change but impact might increase.
My criticism is based on my meagre knowledge of composition and photography I would be happy to have any feedback regarding the improvement of the critique.
With regards
Kausik
