It's really hard to make a connection with the subject with the hands covering the face; yet this is so technically excellent I find I'm still drawn to it.

Dramatic street portrait.

This is a great portrait and it doesn't even have a face or eyes in it! NOt everybody can do that. Lots of personality here. I like the lighting.

Dark and moody - low key just feels good.

just a little more light and this would have been perfect

Beautiful use of contrast. I love his hands. This is quite telling.

nope , does not quite hit the right note with me

Hands over face don't do it for me. It presents mystery that can't be satisfied by more observation. It's dark and despairing, but doesn't show much clue to his reality.

Dark but interesting view of the hands. Nice light!
Post actions
Well done. Great emotion here for me.

It's a bit dark for my tastes, sorry.

There is something very stirring about this shot. It is very stark and contrasty, but in a very good way. The negative space really adds to this person's emotions, her hidden face an added mystery, rewarded with exquisite detail on the hands. A fave.

to dark, not enough tonal value

This makes me feel sad. Why is he covering his face? Good emotive shot.
Post actions
He looks frustrated. Or like he doesn't want his picture taken. :P Still a good capture.

nice conversion to B&W, this works well with the black background

Nice character in the hands. Good light and editing here. Very emotive.

great hands! mysterous and mystifying colors...

I think that this one had a good deal of potential, especially with DPCs apparent insatiable hunger for third world images. The darkness of the image, unfortunately, leaves my hanging and only going back to the super-bright fingernails of the subject. I'd like to see this one with some lighting that was a good deal less harsh.
Post actions
Good shot but a bit dark.
Post actions
Post actions
To me the overall darkness of this shot makes the fingernails look unnatural or even blown out. Would have liked to see it a little lighter.
Post actions
The detail in the hands is very very good. Composition is strong. But n my calibrated monitor it's too dark overall to fully appreciate.
Post actions
I like the lighting on the subject and the b&w conversion.
