Excellent portrait and great use of the challenge topic. His expression is so intense, it makes you wonder what he's thinking. Good luck

I really like this picture. Great capture, great expression, but my only critique is it seems a bit stagnant. I'm not sure why, but I think it might be that it is so centered and symmetrical. Maybe having the slat a little bit more off center, or having your subject slightly off center would change that. I know composition is subjective, so this is only a suggestion and a humble opinion.

Nice portrait. I can't decide if I like the shaodw in the back though. And I feel while the light is ncie and adds to the character of the picture, I wish the darks ide of his face was just a bit lighter. It may also just be my monitor. Good job

One of the few color protrataits I've seen where the grain enhances as opposed to distracts. Great expression and use of light

Nice use of selective desat and grain. Nice composition. Only nit picky thing is the odd coloration on the edges of her fingers. I'm not sure what it is, but it makes her skin look blothcy which distracts from the picture (IMHO)
