Thanks for all the positive feedback. This was my first serious entry. I learned a lot from the comments...mainly that I would have done a lot better had I been able to do something with the burn out on his forhead, and if I had cropped him with a little more space on the left. Next time.
holy @#$%! i can't believe this didn't score higher. 103rd? Only 8 9's? (one of which was mine) This photo is so real and so un-messed with, which is how i like 'em best. This is an EXCELLENT portrait. Should have been in the top 20 imhao (and that would stand for: in my heartfelt amateur opinion).
A solid entry here ... good contrast good focus. I would probably have cropped it slightly different to off center the subject, but that is just my taste... good luck
I like the lighting and the clarity. I ranked this really high. The only suggestion I would have is to mess with th composition- how does it look if you applied the 'rule of 1/3s'? Congrats on a superior image.
