Thank you all for your friendly comments. This past week has been a boost for my ego as a photographer, watching the cheers and good marks coming in. I did not try to make a 'glossy' picture that would please everyone, so I am really pleased with the way things turned out. Thanks again.
I know this has absolutly nothing to do with the picture itself, but I think you could have done better on the title. I like the photo, and can see for myself that it is hi-key. 8
Wow! I like this photo very much. The high contrast emphasises the details of the face and the cloths very nicely. One of my favourite photos this week. -stephan
A bit too much contrast for my tastes, but I understand that may have been intentional. I feel like if there was a larger range of tonal values, I could get a better look at his face and more of a texture feeling from his clothes and the furniture.
i love this. and even though i am a huge fan of higer contrast pics, i still might have toned it down just a little tiny bit. but still awesome! 9--alecia
This is a pretty nice picture. I don't like the title of it. I think we can tell it's high-key, well at least I can and I don't know squat. But forget the title, we're critiquing pictures here betwixt arguing in the forums. This is a nice portrait with some pretty BRIGHT lighting, on purpose of course. I don't like the hand on his head. would've been more effective posing in some other fashion. But aside from that, nice job - Inspzil
Would like to have seen at least one eye. Don't usually like B & W portraits but this is pretty good. Needs just a little less light on leg and more in middle.
very strong shot! really love the high contrast you used here. (How did you get David Carradine to pose for you, I hear he's a really reclusive guy?) Excellent! (10) ~mcmurma
Very good. Wonderful composition achieved with the posture of the subject. The balance between the crossed leg and the insinuated upper hand is the key. The facial expression is exact. Even if the subject may not smoke, I would have not resisted including a lit cigarret smoking on his right hand, in the same position as it stands.
