My youngest son, David, on his 19th birthday, who was kind to agree with a quick photoshoot session...
God bless you, son!

Thank you for the comments - this was a tough one for me.
I agree with Louis that having his name as title would be more appropriate, so everyone would "read" the image as best impressed the viewer.

He just looks mad, which to me, doesn't neccessarily mean intense. I'm also not sure if I like the sepia tones in this. I would like to see what it looks like in b/w.
This is a great portrait. The light is perfect, the frame/crop works very well, and his pose and expression are great. The duotone choice is nice. The slight softness is intriguing. Title not so good, but that's ok. :-) (First name might have worked better.) 8

I like the crop and the toning. The shirt is quite ordinary and takes away from the mood you wanted to create (assuming from the title). His eyes are too dark IMO, whole image could be a bit sharper (=more intense)
