I am not competent enough to comment or compare entries to Ben's style so I am not going to try.
Beautifully pped and a wonderful shot with so many potential stories attached to it. For me, it is very ominous .. he is a frightening character because of his body language and not his size .. I wouldn't want to be the person he is waiting for .. the blur is perfect .. the tonal quality excellent .. it almost seems as there is a mist surrounding him .. I would love to be able to create such a shot as this .. I hope you get the score this shot deserves.
so which is it - the use of the window as filter? tilting the world to fit the person? the charcoal drawing quality? the backlighting? or that it reminds me of ubique's )?
anyhow, this is nonchalantly brilliant. (not voting)
You got your mojo going...I can envision many DPCers that strike this pose, empty their mind, and make this journey when coming up with something unique. A lovely tribute to anybody who enjoys making this image, hopefully this includes you! Well done. 8
I can see Ben producing something like this. He seems intrigued by lonely people and moments between moments. The misty window overlay adds some welcome complexity.
Another image that I had to study to figure it out. I think it is looking out a window with condensation on it (maybe), lol. I like the candidness. (voted earlier).
