Left or Right muffin eyed, that is the question. Funny take on the material. I might have cropped just a bit off the top to remove the white, but still and engaging portrait as is.
Way too much going on in the background. I get that this shot would not make sense without something in the background, but I would rather see it or see less of it. My blurring it completely with a dof change, I get left wondering why he's wearing a hat and a rain coat.
