Loving the shadows on this.
Post actions
Dark face in shadow - looks sooty.
Post actions
Without the title, I wouild have thought he was a jockey :)
Post actions
I long for more details in the shadows. And for his chin.
Post actions
Nice composition, very dramatic.
Post actions
I would like to see more of his face.
Post actions
I really, really like this shot, even though I can find a lot of technicals that could be considered "wrong." It really seems to tell a story.
Post actions
I really like this picture, the darkness, the anonymity of it, the unconventional nature of it.
Post actions
Well captured and presented.
Post actions
I can see what you are trying to achieve, unfortunately , I think your post processing did not come out quite right. Need to see a little more details of the person's face. The yellow tones left in the image seems a little out of place, you need to experiment with the hue adjustments more (try not to adjust hue with a high/mid saturation setting, try a low saturation level then slowly work from there), 5

Not sure I like the color tone of this image but this is a good capture and a decent candid portrait.

I wish his face were more visible, I think it would make the photo stronger.
Post actions
Interesting portrait. Nice processing. Don't like the yellow cast though. Just plain black and white would have been better.

oh oh cheddar cheese girl...

Real life and real emotion. What a great way for him to be portrayed. Nicely done.
Post actions
the off-center subject works well - nice contrast - I like the serious darkness of the face...
Post actions
I really like the textures on this. Wish the crop wasn't so tight on his chin
Post actions
Fantastic shot. The processing is what makes this image so nice. Good job.
Post actions
Good shot. Maybe a little lighting on the face would've helped raise the score for me.
Post actions
for me the contrast is a little over done, jmo
Post actions
I'd tone down the highlights a bit. Some of them are pretty hot, especially on the helmet where they blend in with the background. Might also want to dodge the face a small amount.
Post actions
Nice capture and postprocessing.
Post actions
the shadowed face adds to the tension...nice work!
Post actions
I'd like to see more of his face.
Post actions
I very much like that his face is almost but not quite hidden.
Post actions
Great tones. Very strong image made more so by the near anonymity of the man's face. 7.

wonderful environmental portrait.
Post actions
nice enviromental portrait, good conversion to B&W

Post actions
you already know this shot is great :-P lighting good, detail good, composition good, everything good. I wonder if the man's a bit too dark, though...
Post actions
The lighting and processing takes this image to a whole new level..
Post actions
Very strong contrasts. Wished I could see more of the face.
Post actions
Nice character shot, very emotive. Good lighting technique!
Post actions
I like this capture! Hero portraits are the best.
Post actions
Good capture of gritty determination

I dont like the lighting. Cant see his face at all but I do like the artistic feel.
Post actions
This man is earning his money.
Post actions
Another angle will do better, his face has a lot of details and u should go much closer to this
Post actions
Nice idea. A little too dark in the face and too blown out behind.
Post actions
cool environmental portrait
Post actions
an interesting shot...without the title I would say to dark not focused enough but with it...hmmm commands respect
Post actions
would have been nice to see more of him. as it is the crop is too tight, and the picture looses it's power.
Post actions
the texture in his face is great ...
Post actions
Post actions
I'd love to see more detail on his face.
Post actions
Some more light (levels or fill light) on the face would have made it much stronger.
Post actions
nice, light would have be cool if turned on
