Tremendous image. You have captured very well the emotional payload this man carries. Lit perfectly to capture the character of his face.

I wish I looked this good with my bolles (or the REVOs). Incredible texture and lighting. A masterful job! 10.

A penetrating character study with great use of b/w to enhance the mood. 8

Cool old dude! Great character study....love the frown and the great lines of his face and, especially, his forhead! Great detail and lighting. Good luck!

great expression and everything, one of my favorites (I hope people wont care too much about missing "&"). The sporty sunglasses seem a bit inappropriate, but in the same time they make it more interesting, 9
Post actions
Great capture. I love the contrast and the expression. I've been a stickler for the rules on this one so point off for no "&" or "and" in title. - 8

Nice candid.............8

Handsome. Nice Job. You should ty selling this to Bolle.

Dramatic textures & tones. No way those are his glasses, they just don't fit him, but some how it still works. Good work.
Post actions
Black & White was a good choice here. I like the expression. Very crisp. 7
Post actions
I really like this picture. The negative space echoes the lenses well. The detail of wrinkles is great as well as his frown. A tiny bit overexposed on his forehead/scalp. Don't worry, I didn't knock you for not having an '&'. 8.

I love this shot. The man is older yet he has bolle sunglasses which makes me think he is kinda cool. I love his expression. Nice Sharp contrast. 9

Post actions
Wow, amazing. Great expression. Good use of BW. Very good indeed.

What a great image. Classy old man. I hope you do very well and don't get penalized because you don't have the little ampersand in the title. BOL

Boy, you had your choice of titles for this one... Dark Lenses, Deep Lines, Dour Look, I could go on and on. Excellent photo by the way. I love the sharpness (but not over-sharpness), the contrast and tones, the composition and especially your subject. 10
Post actions
Great capture here, expression is classic and brings a smile to your face. This picture seems to have a good story attached to it. Lighting is good and detail is amazing. Really, really like this shot.
Post actions
Beautiful image. The disparity between the smooth, ultramodern glasses and the aged skin is great. The echo of the blacks in the background and the lenses works very well. the crop composition POV DOF and toning are excellent. I must give you a 10.
Post actions
great details here, nice composition too

I like this portrait a lot, great lighting and expression.

I love the contrast between the old humble looking man and the new brand name glasses.

Great shot! This piece reminds me of the style of a DPCer in Romania or Turkey (I can't remember which) whose portfolio I reviewed recently. Her work (as is this) was outstanding. Very nice job - it has so much captured character. 9
Post actions
This is an excellent shot and you captured the challenge well. 9
Post actions
The lens on the glasses looks too matte like you painted the black in rather than just darkened the lens and kept the reflective qualities of the glass I still like the mans face tho.
Post actions
Those lines in the guys face are just wonderful!
Post actions
I'm almost certain you'll get comments that say this doesn't have the '&' in between *rolling my eyes* it's unfortunate...but I really like this photo. Especially in BW
