Congratulations Rowan! How exciting for you to be a finalist. The black and white effect is very dramatic and to capture it with the added intensity in his expression is amazing. It speaks volumes. Faces tell us so much of the story. Well done!

What a captivating shot Rowan!! From the darkest black to the brightest white...and all the shades of gray in between...this photo jumps off of the page with authority. Only a TRUE professional could create so much depth in a black&white photo and capture the passion in this man's eyes...well done!

Good eye. The powder brought out the tribal scars in a marked way. The focus of the eye, reveals the intensity and focus of the subject. Focal range and depth-of-field superb.

Rowan, the picture is amazing. I love B & W pics and this one is really powerful and dramatic at the same time. I've always liked the pics that you've sent to me to look at. Congrats on being a finalist. You do us (Canada, CAA, the Oaks)proud.

Amazing picture where trully the eye is the mirror of the soul. I love the rude contrast between B&W, between the skin and the dust of the powder. In my beautiful language what I know best will be: Estremecedora.. Good luck to you!
