MAN! I must of gone through 3 bottles of headache pills deciding what shot to enter. My current run of form on DPC is a touch below par to say the least although Im easy to please anyway. I think this should do well, it's well lit nicely located, good solid crop and those awsome Autumn colours and bokeh really make young Eddie here POP off the screen. I will shoot high on this one I think

Thanks all.. the yellowish cast was the reflecting light through the autumn trees, hence the title. very little work in photoshop. I love this shot mostly because of the lighting..
the greenish cast is not appealing to me, and the just slightly off center comp seems a touch off, otherwise it's a very good portrait of this young man.
One of the best portraits in the challenge IMO. The background is a wonderful frame. The colors, bokeh and patterns work wonderfully together. Great detail and focus on your model and the fact that your model isn't one of those super pretty people (not that he is ugly by any means - just a normal guy) adds to the realness of the image. Well done.
Just wonderful colours. Good model, but the eyes are lacking. A reflector would have done wonders here, if you don't have one, you might benefit from trying the 'Pimp those Eyes' tutorial by idnic.
Slight dodge above the right eye would also have stopped the eyebrow looking so extreme.
