Thanks acearchie, you did an excellent job judging. This will be hard to top!

I'm so happy about winning! There were some truly strong shots this week. I only shoot street so I got lucky with this category :)
 
Apart from the slightly unsharpness (telephoto and slow shutter speed?) this photo is great. I don’t know if it is a before or after shot but I feel as though it is before as I have see the apprehension and tenseness within his body. I don’t know if it is PP but the red pops really nicely especially with all the yellow tints. I love the dress as well which really shows he has gone “out on the town” for this and it is his big moment! Was it a crop or straight shot as the framing is also very nice? Perhaps due to the angle of shot the man looks a little as though he is leaning to his left.

The shutter speed was low, 1/80 at 250mm, but it was the best I could work with since it was in the evening and my lens if f/5.6 at 250mm. I also have a feeling it may be slightly out of focus, as my lens has trouble with that in these conditions. It's cropped only a bit, since I thought the original just had too much free space around him. If I remember correctly, this was in fact before. The red is slightly adjusted, because in reality it is more of a pinkish color (this is not the main toreador, I just can't for the life of me remember what they are called :p).

Well thanks for the comment and congratulations to the winner!
