Talked to him for about 10 minutes, about jazz, his work, his life. Took a few pictures during our conversation. Initially I liked his hat then asked him moved towards the green background.

He looks like a hardened man, I really like the textures & detail you got in his face. He really looks like he's concentrating on something (the game maybe?)
I love this capture. He looks like he is very deep in thought. The colors are also very nice, the red hat and white shirt are very nice against the green background. My only critique would be the red in the border, I could do without it, but that is minor. Overall, I really like this, great job!
The yellow overtone here seems a bit strong. I would like to see how this would look as a b&w. Clearer focus on the eyes would have given this shot more impact IMO.
