Greets from the Critique Club:
Hi Andrej,
This is a decent portrait shot, like your previous submital. However it was hurt by the harsh lighting of the flash. I do like the humanity and the feeling present in this gentleman's face, but the rest of the photo does not really work for me. For one, I don't see the relationship to the title. He doesn't strike me as the doctor type (though I could be wrong). I think this is where you've lost most of the points with the voters, as the comments during the challenge indicate.
Anyway, as I said before, I'm not happy with the lighting, and I'm not happy with the composition. Combined they don't give a feeling of dynamism that should be present in a good photograph (i.e. The photo looks more like a snapshot then a art photograph)
I hope this helps and you have better luck with your next submission!
