Great picture. Astonding level of detail to go with a great expression. Reminds me of this guy that works in a 711 near where I live. Every time I go into to buy a snapple or somthing hge's like "you are a nice man" so yeah he's kinda a wierd old guy but sometimes he lets me get stuff for free so I like to think of him as a crazy old uncle or second grandfather. I'll probably get him a Christmas card, I'll also get on for the crossing guard and that cute girl that works the window at Wendys.
Lovely. Great crop and framing. Excellent light and contrast. Great focus and depth. One or two distractive "floating" hair highlights to left could have been cloned out perhaps. What am I saying!? "Basic editing only" Bumped from 9 to 10.
Its a personal preference but I would have cropped this tigther so the bright white on the right side doesn't distract my eye from all the detail in his face.
You've captured a character! The range of tones look good, no distracting background, good depth of field, good composition and crop, and nicely sharp. It's a good shot.
