This is my dad. He's just joking putting on a serious face - he's actually quite a funny guy. But I really like the character that shown through in this expression.
White shoot-through umbrella to my upper-left, silver umbrella to my lower right.
I used Shadow/Highlight and sharpening to make the details stand out.
I really like how it turned out - a great shot of my dad.
I think this is a beautiful portrait and that it was severely underrated by voters. Can't think of any improvements except perhaps to soften the light coming from the left just a smidgen, because there's a little bit of glare on his forehead. However that is not a serious criticism. You should do more of these.
VERY nice. So realistic, makes me visually think we are standing face to face talking. You did a great job on this portrait; Technically and creatively. 10
Very blunt, upfront portrait. I like it a lot. The lighting accentuating the texture of his skin is awesome and the way it lights his eyes is really beautiful. This is so subtle in its emotion which makes an interesting contrast with how straightforward the framing, angle and lighting are. Fabulous, unique portrait
