That picture is friggen wicked killer. Great shot!!!

amazing picture! love the huge amount of dynamics

It's amazing how it looks like the wheel just has run amok! :-)

amazing!

that's crazy and spectacular!

I love the lord-of-the-rings type trees, this is fantastic! The vignetting draws your attention to the subject and the raw grain adds a certain realism.

wow this is amazing. i love the old fashioned look.
where is this anyways?

Thanks to your eyes. It is cool.

looks like a t-rex, very cool

pretty tone and grain!

Hi Jean, we meet again ;-) This photo is beautiful, the only thing is I would like to see more of this old man, parts of his lower hands perhaps. He seems to have a story ready to tell.

Using paper to my screen cropping, I find the picture more focused on the model if I eliminate the blue sky and orange rooftop. The blue sky is a distraction away from the model and the tilted roof line makes me dwell on elements other than the model. Great DOF. eliminating the blue gives you a 'stairway' up while he is pondering down.

There is a cinematic quality to this shot that I really like. The DOF is perfect here to my eye, although in order to keep the pattern and repetition of the building so that it is not a distraction to your subject, I would remove the blue sky as I find it is a bit of a distraction.

I agree with the above mentioned, but also I want to add one thing, maybe it had been better if you have choose a sqare format than this one.

I think it's great.....good DOF! But i would have to agree about the blue sky.

Great image and beautiful composition - small is beautiful !

"Humanity amongst steel", or, "where's that noise coming from". very strong contrast.

Thank you both KidJim and anemix! Much appreciated :)

Enhorabuena Sharon por esta bella composicion, donde el blanco y negro refuerza la escena.

I really like this repeating pattern of the reflection, how it varies in tone across the frame. A great balance here with the piping and brick.

Lovely capture!

Yep - it's very good, - looks like a magazine photography.. - i like the overall composition and color harmony (eye / back-ground) - very good work i think !!

One thing I'd do would be to crop the image along the line of the brick pillar edge to de-center the model and also make the lines lead to the model instead of away from him into the shadows. It also makes the right side lighting viable.

j'aurais bien vu un cadrage carré. on se perd un peu dans cette image et l'arrière_plan ,'a pas vraiment d'intéret ni dans les formes ni dans les couleurs

Great job!. I love the blur around him and the final effect.

This is a wonderful portrait. I actually like that it's not a sharp image as it adds a certain mood with the ever-so-slight soft focus. The blurred background and bokeh brings you right into his eyes. I like that.

Beautiful shot!

Very, very nice!

Wow, this is stunning.

Excellent! Well seen!!

Looks like a Matt Stuart photograph
