weak oppose Image quality is very good, but it would have been nice if the subject had been in the centre of the picture. Image is slightly tilted towards right.--

Oppose I understand the difficulties involved in taking a candid portrait of someone, but I think this one has too many aesthetic flaws to be a featured picture. The angle is bad, his face is off center, his mouth is agape, he has a blank expression on his face, the top of his head is cut off, and he's slouched to one side.

Photographer loosely tried to follow rule of thirds, that sometimes causes top of head to be cut off, which is not 'wrong'. That said, the alignment to the thirds is only horizontally, vertically it is off. --

Well then that's another reason why I'm not a big fan of the rule of thirds, especially for a human portrait.

Oppose Image has good EV, but is noticeably out of focus. His facial expression seems outright unnatural. --
