What can I say... A beautiful image all around. If I were to do anything at all I would brighten both eyes just a tad or perhaps even the entire heads to draw more attention to that area. It looks to me that you have room in those whites, certainly the yellow eyes for it to work if you agree.

Another nice portrait Stan. My only comment is that the work you did in the whites of the eyes(darker grey outline around the white) is quite noticeable and I would clean it up a bit. Also, you cloned out the right shoulder skin at the frame edge well but there is still a tiny white vertical line at the edge that I would darken just to be on the safe side. I would also clone out the small bright red dots in the hat. All of these things may or may not get picked up by a judge but easy enough to fix if you agree with my thoughts!

Visually, I like this image a lot Bobbie. However, there are things I would try to clean up before entering for competition. It seems the sky has sharpening applied and looks noisier than any other part of the image and I'm wondering why. It is obvious enough that a judge might pick up on it and, if possible, I would mask it out of the sharpening process you applied everywhere else which is just right. Oddly, for some reason the left side of the sky seems much less noisy. Here is place where a luminosity mask would likely give you a good selection of the sky since the trees are much darker. The created mask would either allow you to remove the sharpening or add a gaussian blur to reduce the noise. I would have liked to see a bit further down the tracks but moving left and back might have been impossible. If there is more in the frame that was cropped out take a look and see how you feel. I'm on the fence about the half old jeep in the frame rather than either none or the whole thing. I think the entire jeep would have added much more interest for me. In any event it certainly adds to the vintage mood. Please understand I'm nit picking here because I hate when judges complain about these things that I probably could have and should have addressed before printing.

Excellent portrait. You captured the person, not just his wonderful face.

Excellent image. You captured the magical glow of NYC at twilight. Love the warm and cool colors working together, even in the reflections.
