| Stuart Caine | I like it. The
detail stands out and your blurring the background keeps your eye on
the subject. You did a nice job.

| Dean Hellinger | You did
good, made all the changes and ended up with a clear portrait story.

Nice portrait. That’s one serious shooter.
Gun sight has the right exposure, but face is too dark, at least on my
monitor (Larry told me long ago my monitor was reading too dark, but I
thought I had fixed it). I find the yellow thing in his ear way is too
bright and highly distracting—a hearing aid? I got it! An ear plug! Needs
toning down—or even color changed. I would prefer to have the whole image
cropped less tightly, I would especially like to see all of his hand. |

| Tim Christoffersen | My eye goes from his eye with the glasses to the
scope. I think the sharpness draws my eye there. I find that aspect of
the image really effective (I also peek at the yellow ear plug.) The
‘clouds’ creeping onto the edge of the hat is unfortunate as the hat
is quite sharp and it really detracts from the image. The face seems
too reddish to me but that might be because you mentioned you burned
it in. I don't know. |

Good people-interest image. I was admiring the stock of his rifle (it's much fancier than mine) so much that I almost overlooked the sky melting on his hat. I think that, if you had used the sky as the background layer and moved the shooter and middleground onto it, instead of the other way around, you could have avoided some problems. |
