This is a great photograph. I think it would have done very well in another challenge other than conflict. The focus is very sharp and DOF is near perfect. I like the border as is. In a different challenge I would easily give this an 8.
what purpose does the frame serve, other than to distract the eye? A very interesting image, but that border is MOST distracting. (Frames are fine on weak images, contain the eye from wandering out of the picture, but this did NOT need such restraint. Yes, this type of technique is enjoying a little popularity, but it is a fad. Art will outlast fas. The photo could have been Art.)
about what? They look like they might be stoned or drunk but there are no indications to let one know. The white line border is extremely distracting on this shot to me and the larger space on the bottom is also throwing me off. A 4
isn't denial the the avoidance of conflict? anyway, I like the photo itself - especially the man's eyes and cute messy hair. I like that framing technique too - I might have to use that myself sometime.
nice pic, but (for me) does not fit the challenge well - it doesn't say 'conflict' without an explanation. Show the pic to strangers, and say nothing. Ask "What is the first thing that comes to mind?" or even 'What is the conflict in this image?' and let me know if anyone gets it.
