Cool lighting! I love the position of the guy in the shadows and then the light on the face, very well seen and photographed. I would love to see this in b/w.
I see where you're going here. It definitely has potential. In my view, a tighter crop, less negative space on the bottom middle and left would have made for a stronger image.
I've looked at this image several times and I really am torn as far as voting is concerned. I like the overall feel to it and the subject looks so forlorn but the title has no connection to the image for me.
meaningful...at first I was thinking that more of the sky might have been cropped out but on second look, it seems to really get the message across so nicely...not the eye candy usually loved in here which makes it much more meaningful a piece worthy of a 9
