This photo was taken for my first photography class. We were to do a study of portraiture; a series of twelve portraits of the same person in their natural surroundings. We could only use available light, as we have not covered anything about lighting yet. This is my boyfriend Abe, a very down to earth, natural person.

Nice portrait, though I would like to see a little more of his "environment", as the challenge calls for an environment that says something about the person. Exposure-wise, I'd like to see the shadows a bit darker to give the image more depth, and unfortunately there are some blown out highlights on the hand and the face is a little overexposed. Compositionally, I wish he was looking at the camera, instead of leading my eye out of the frame. Despite all these nit-picks, I do like the photo, and he is an interesting subject. Just needs a few technical tweaks.
This is a simple shot and the pose is good. However, his face could be a little sharper. As for the challenge, I don't see how his environment says anything about him...3
