Well - I am scoring above a 6 with this shot which really stuns me. I figured mid 5 at best. This was a great opportunity for me to experiment with using a flash in full daylight to figure out how to kill backgrounds. No filter was used, just a bare 420 on the left and an aperture of 22 I think.

His sneakers are untied and his knee is muddy but his chair is shiny and out in the middle of a field... boy, this image raises LOTS of questions for me!
Nice shot. You did a great job of working out the exposure. Unlike a lot of filled shots, yours doesn't look over done. If I had any criticism, it would be that the colors on your subject are a bit intense for my taste but really, thats pretty minimal. The shot is just plain good.
