I like it, and a good title would be; Outstanding in His Field.

People read photos like books ,left to right. The position of the subject and the contrast between the suit and the field tell a disturbing story. A great photo!

I like the strong look on his face. However, the image becomes dull and dark towards the corners. I don’t like the light that is flashing on his face, and this light doesn’t seem natural to me. The light cannot be natural, and this disconnects the subject from the background. Probably using the light from a longer distance would help.

In the photo theback ground is darker & gradually get lighter towards the forground. This in my mind puts the attention on man , especially the hands.I read through all the critques & I didn’t see this , but what is he holding in his left hand. Is it what ai think it is . Perhaps he is trying to tell us that he is the worlds biggest p PRICK.

I think this photo is well taken. My only feedback is I don’t know a lot of people who wear suits in the outdoors. It seems they conflict each other. Maybe that is the story the photographer is trying to tell. Love the lighting and the dark background, it really gives a somber presence to the photo.

The subject is a puzzle. Why is this well-dressed serious man standing in field at sunset? I find the flash distracting and makes the picture look a little artificial. It’s also obvious the light on the right side of his face is not from the sun, but from another light source. In addition, there seems to be something wrong with his left han, perhaps because it’s partly obscured by the grass.

Most folks seem to like the lighting on the subject. I don’t. Its the wrong color. Its a strobe that needs to be a bit softer and a bit yellower. I’m also not thrilled with the amount of light spill on the weeds. All could be fixed in post.
