Not very creative or gimmicky, but still a well-done SP. The red background hurts my eyes and you would've been more guapo without it.
Flash-lit? A diffuser in front of that white light source would help, IMO.
I thought this might be you during the voting. This is a nice, well lit portrait. I like the pose you've chosen, and it definately shows how you are. I'm not sure the red background works real well for me, though. It's a little over powering.
Nice job!
The first thing I notice here is the red background. I'm going to contradict myself from my previous comment - after a few viewings, I'm not crazy about it. It's a very harsh color and overpowers you. There's a shadow on your hand that might have been eliminated with a reflector, and the picture isn't perfectly sharp.
CTCP2 Gunnsi First impression: Happy guy, good shot!
Pros:
Good focus, good contrast, good lighting.
Cons:
The background is not clean, a bit to red :-), the shadow distracts.
What could be done better:
Go a bit further from the wall to get rid of the shadow.
Nothing else to say, overall a really nice portraiture.
Returning for comments. Excellent job with lighting and the composition. The image is also very sharp but best of all your personality shines through. So good job overall. No real complaints with anything. The hand is a bit cut off but that doesn't bother me and maybe the background red is a bit too intense but it does contrast well with your shirt and hair.
Could this be or most improved photographer from the WPL? Somehow this face rings a bell anyway, is this Shailesh? Good shot anyway, just could benefit from a less strong colored backround and softer lighting, that´s all but above average in this challenge, 6 from me.
Sully! This is excellent. Nice lighting and expression. Clear focus. You did good!!! (not nuts about the red, but otherwise - a-ok) You just jump out at me. Bumping up. Great SP
