What a flattering portrait! I love the lighting and presentation. It not only has a lot of character, it has a lot of technical photographic merit as well. Great job!

So, you’re a hat maker during the night and a photographer during the day? ha ha. Superb photo very sharp and nice neutral background so it doesn't take away from you. One thing that I wish was not there is the light reflection in the right eye, since the eye is in the shadows that light reflection really become noticeable. Still, excellent photo!

Composition: 8, Very nice composition. I enjoy the cropping out of some of the face and hat, and it makes the shot feel more lively than perfectly centered portraits

i don't know anything about portraiture, so i'm using your image as a guinnea pig as to what i think i would or wouldn't do in this situation, as well as what i notice and get out of your image.

I like the tilted composition of the photo. Very good lighting and dof. The hat and your beard works very well in b/w.
