nice composition, slightyl out of focus howerver. The kicker, I don't think it meets the challange, however. "Take a photograph where complete words -- not just individual letters -- play a creative role in your composition"
This is a good character portrait, but I'm sorry to say, but it's way outside the challenge...
Looks like you've gota bit of motion blur in this shot, will be interested to see what iso/shutter/apeture you were using. Obviously a reasonably small F number/large apeture as the background is nicely blurred, but I wonder if you couldn't have changed your ISO setting up a couple of notches, or pushed it -1 stop? The noice/grain of higher ISO would not have hurt this shot at all, and may have enhanced it a little, and pushing 1 or even 1.5 stops would have been OK as well as the shirt looks a little over exposed.
Dunno what sort of camera you have, but on mine I can take a 'test' metering without looking through the viewfinder, to see what shutter speed I'm metering, and it shows on the LCD on top of the camera, so I can change settings before annoying the 'model' by pointing the obviously at them.
Really nice photo, missed the challenge brief by a country mile, still giving it a 5 as I'm jealous of anyone who has the guts to do street photography like this.. :-).
This is one of the best picture i ever seen in this challenge. The title expresses the way how the man is and mood gives it all. and i like that way how the picture is dual tone to create the look of the picture. Great job Gave you a **10**
Ok- i've been extremely extremely critical of people w/o words in this challenge. And several people have used things like "speechless" etc. to make up for this. it's a great photo- kudos- but i'm sorry- i can't score high. it just doesn't meet the challenge- although this holds much more merit than the others, so i can't give it a one. 3.
