This is a wonderful photo and certainly deserves more recognition! THe light and the focus are perfect, the setting exquisite and the mood, oh the mood. I think a picture like this, however, can suffer from "poor voter monitor calibration syndrome". It's possible that the face wasnt even visible for some people. Don't let the score discourage you.

Too dark, but an interesting place to take a photo. A creepy feeling comes to me when I look at the photo.

this could have been a really great shot. more light catching the edge of the guy would have made him more of a focal point and given a lot more impact

I like the contrast between light/dark in this. I think there is good backlighting on the face, just enough for an outline but not enough for details.

Interesting shot, I like the lighting. The think on the left is a little distracting but the photo just leaves me wondering what's next ....

I'd really like just a little bit more light on the man... but it's a good 'story' image. (not voting yet)

good moodiness in this...I am sure others won't vote this highly, but I like it and the story it tells

I would like to see a little more light directed to the face, this way I think it would be a little stronger!
