Remarks: I appreciate this entry for its journalistic integrity. Neither the photographer nor camera or post-process appear to interfere with the essence focused on here. I tried to reflect this in the value of my final vote.
Very nice and unusual study, possibly could have done with either a slightly shallower dof or the contrast tweaking in pp to make it stand out more but nevertheless a good photo as is. The eyes of your subject are particularly impressive and tell a tale of years past
very nice shot, and a good subject well captured. the difference between this and my favorites in the challenge is that here I get no strong sense of how this fellow interacts with this particular environment.
I really like the detail and lighting on the subject but I think this would have been a better shot for the challenge if you had a higher depth of field. I do like the grain in the background but if it weren't for the title I may not worked out where he was.
excellent portrait but garbage in the background is not obvious at all. i really like the portrait but as i am not sure whether i should vote high based on that only (considering this is an "environmental" portrait challenge)...so i will skip voting for this image.
This would be my pick for a blue, definitely should ribbon. The composition is perfect with the worker to the right of the frame, revealing the garbage behind him. The lighting on the face is extremely well done. The grainy gray sky adds a more to the feel of pollution, which works very well... based on lighting, composition, subject, processing, and originality, you get probably my only 10
