Like the face, like the light, don't like the hand and scissors. Because it is closer to the camera than the model's face, it is disproportionately large and since it is out of focus, it is even more distracting.

This would be a BEAUTIFUL portrait....without the pitchfork. I know you were trying for something different, but this attempt was ill-advised. The guy's got a great face, happy and mischievous blue eyes, a color-coordinated shirt. His visage could carry the picture very nicely on its own.

First question: Why don't you simply take a good portrait instead of toying with Photoshop effects? In fact, under all the gimmcks, this doens't look like a bad portrait, at all. In fact, it looks pretty good. Comments on this one: He looks as if he has a black eye. Did he get punched in the right eye? His right cheek highlights are totally burned out. The portrait is overexposed. If you are going to do this stuff, here's a suggestion on the backgrounds: Put the black background to the left so it contrasts with the light side of his face and put the white background on the right so it contrasts withe the side of his face in that is in the shadows.

Your new camera....you use it well. Wow! Beautifully lit and beautifully framed. This is a very nice portrait. (Just out of curiosity...what is your new camera?) -
I am puzzled. I thought the Canon EOS 300 was a digital camera...maybe there's a 300D. But this looks like it is printed from a very distressed and dirty negative...and it sort of adds interest to the overall effect. The colors and the model's look are very appealing. I'd like to hear more of the process by which this image was made. Can you tell us more?

I agree with Jason Lucas: There is no need, nor much purpose in asking what the subject is. I like Jason's term "visual entertainment". Individuals look at this photo and react in their own visceral way to the beauty. Maybe photos in the photo-journalistic genre need a well-defined subject. Here the sum is greater that the parts mentioned by the elves, i.e. the light, trees, and fall colours. This is a beautiful photograph, expertly made. -
Hilarious.

You DO live in a Garden of Eden!

Thanks for your feedback.

First, thank you everyone for your comments and ratings. Second, on the issue of the plane of the floor being horizontal: At the left 25% of the image, the "floor" actually rises to meet the downward-arching ceiling beams. It is not one flat plane. I think this might create an illusion that the whole image is not square to horizontal. But, maybe it could use a slight rotation CCW. Good comment on the exit sign. Thanks again to all.

Good picture, bad title.

Too dark to see on my screen. -
Are you familiar with Berenice Abbott's photo from the Empire State Building? It was taken from virtually the same vantage point. The building in the foreground, with the gothic tower, and the building with all of the set-backs behind it are recognizable from her photograph made in the 1930s. The other buildings are obviously new construction since then. This is pretty well executed. I don't know if Bojan knew how correct he was when he said "not a new idea". Abbott's photo has a significantly wider view. I hope you've seen her classic photograph or will seek it out.

Not very good execution of an idea that's been done before. Are you familiar with the famous 20th-century American photographer Harry Callahan? He did a marvelous photo of the black lines formed by this junction of legs and torso. But in yours the contours and the lines are too darkly in the shadows for the photo to be effective. -
Wow! What a vantage point. Is this open to the public or only journalists with credentials? Love the color and the tightness of all three cars shot from this vantage point (Schumacker, Kimi too). I am amazed that 2000th of a second "stops" the tires to the extent you can read the labeling. Nice capture.

Wow! Beautifully seen image and nicely captured. As Jon did above, I'd also like to offer some constructive criticisms. I agree with Jon that the broom is just a little too close to the edge of the image. I'd also like to see the image cropped, but in the opposite direction from Jon. I'd like to see the sweeper at the upper third of the image. Having the figure off of dead-center would make this a more dynamic image. I think the space at the top is far less interesting than the patterns he's made with his sweeping action. I suggest you crop the top 20% of the image and/or add some more at the bottom is there is any more of the image captured down there. Regardless of these tweaks though, it is a fascinating photo. -
This photograph has captured beautiful color tones. Very creative capture of the blue/gray shirts and blue/gray sky against the white plywood of the bar's facade. I wish, however, that you had squared the bar's floorline and roofline with the edges of the print.

I think you needed to be closer to him and the ships in the background are undesireable elements. I do like the near silhouette quality of the surfer. I also like the fact that the surfer is not centered.
