should have known this was you Manny. Great shot. I gave it a 9 during the challenge, and that's rare for me. Did you bump the saturation a little? The colour looks a little grainy for the D70.
Great capture! Pose is perfect as is his expresion. Robe colors are very rich - adding to the impact. The dark background is very nice but the bighter green area surrounding his head does not work well for me. Border = not needed.
nice picture, nice theme you chose for it.. it gives the picture meaning which is the whole point of these challenges, and I think your the first one that i've come across that has!
Great portrait! I like the halo of light around the monk and the darkness around the edges. I don't care for your title- at least the parenthetical part. The title makes it seem like you are either trying to shoehorn the image into this challenge, or you think we need help figuring out how it meets the challenge. Either way makes me want to score it lower than I otherwise would have. Would you have included "(An Extraordinary Goal)" if this weren't for DPChallenge or weren't for an extraordinary challenge? If not, shame on you for for pandering to the masses and not following your own artistic vision!
I like the expression here, and the pose is very nice, especially the hands. The vibrant orange and yellow came out really nicely. I would like less air above his head, and possibly a sharper focus on his face, it looks a little fuzzy, maybe just needs a light unsharp mask to make him stand out more clearly. Nice DOF.
