This is technically very well done but the facial expression doesn't echo "cheers" for me.

Decent portrait. I think it could be improved by having a background that contrasts more with the hat... they blend in here.

Hat blends into background. Looks like a transient expression or a blank expression. Love the package bow on the hat.

Almost seems a bit too sharp. The shades are nice, though :)

Good pic. Hat a bit dark might hurt the score.

This is a fun looking photo, but the lighting is letting it down.
You have to try to get your light source off your camera and get the light more from the side. Also with such a dark hat you probably needed a lighter backgtround, or a second light from behind to add some seperation.

contrast seems to be too high, the frontal light produced too many catchlights on the bow that distract from the face.

Interesting photo. I wasn't quite sure what was on the hat at first. Good focus.

A really great photo, and a nice hat :) just maybe a different look on his face might have made a difference maybe a smile....

I like the balance of black and white between the subject and the background. The bow adds a nice gray touch with texture.

He really blends in a bit to much with the background, A different color BAckground or adding an additional light source from behind would have been a better option to provide some seperation

light is a little harsh, and the crop could be a little tighter, in my opinion, too much black in the background, and the black hat, unbalance the image in my opinion

Direct flash makes faces look very flat.
