ParticipantI am slightly confused on the rules, it says this can’t be a still photograph, because that would be too easy, but yet everyone entered a still and they are told it is exactly what was asked for…anyways…I went with a non-still life photo…
(note- I have taken my photography in a different direction, when I started this, I had no intention on shooting people ever…now I am working on being a wedding/portrait photographer, all funny out it works out…)
Here is my submission (non-still life and taken outdoors).

KeymasterA work of art! This is your best photograph submitted yet. It blew me away when I took my first look at it. Everything is spectacular about this photograph. Let me begin by pointing out some of the highlights of the picture in point form (because there are so many)
1. Your lopsided tonal balance adds a very dramatic high key feel to the photograph
2. You´ve managed to capture the widest tonal range possible. This is a spectacular black and white photograph
3. You´ve pulled your main object out from the background and isolated him using the ideal depth of field.
4. The use of the shapes in the umbrella gives the viewer an interesting secondary object to explore. It also helps set the overall mood of the photograph and gives the photograph some context.
5. The un-posed facial expression of your main object is delightful
6. The lighting and subsequent texture in the man´s face is nothing short of breathtaking.What a spectacular photograph. I´m really impressed with this one. Great job.
