Nice shot overall. However, I would like to see the right side of the picture slightly lighter. And I wish I could see more of your neck, it appears as though your head is floating. Is that what you were going for?
What a great portrait picture. I just love the way how you 'separate your head' from the surroundings. While the reflection on the glasses might be a little distracting I think they also add some depth to the photo. (8)
Ok, you may be getting old ... but you're in good company! I would change only two things about this photo -- 1. I would like a slight bit more light in the eyes to generate catchlights, and 2. I would like to eliminate the reflections on the glasses. Other than that, you've done a superior job!
I think this is a great photo, from one oldie to another. I would have liked to see a hint of shoulder, though, rather than the head kind of floating in space. Or, do I need to recalibrate my monitor? High marks anyhow, good job!
A hovering head.. Sorta kinda creepy. Tilting your head slightly forward or backward would have killed those reflections in your glasses, might be worth considering. Nice sharpness and lighting, though. (6)
Very nice, straightforward... not sure about the black shirt on black background, kinda creates this floating-head-in-space effect. Wonder what the same shot would look like in a white shirt.
Ahh so what! We improve with age!
About your picture. I like the black bg, which provides a good contrast for your face. Also nice to see some people still smile...lol One nitpic is the glare on the glasses. Would have been better without that, since it obstructs a view of, the all important, eyes.
Good job!
