I realize this is not a traditional portrait, with proper lighting set up and posed subject facing the camera – rather a candid shot. But I like how the picture turned out and decided to submit – after all he is wearing spectacles:)

I think if he's looking down I'd like to see his hand. Better yet I might like to see a glint in his eyes or a little more sign of emotion. I can't tell if this is a stage or studio shot but the lighting is nice, especially if it's a stage shot.
