Hi from the C Club

Excellent photograph.

Very clear, sharpness is spot on. I know you are colorblind and I think in this instance it shows, in the helmet cover being orange.

There is absolutely nothing more I can add to this shot. I think it is a very emotive shot.

fyi--the hat is orange on my computer... Computers vary so much that it's not affecting my vote, but I thought you might want to know...

nice emotion, I like how the red hat stands out, particularly with the way the person is facing.

I think I would have shifted the hue so that the hat actually came out red and not orange. I do like the picture though, and the nice contrast in the black and white.
