Nice candid portrait. The background is a bit cluttered looking (the baseball bat, the stuff on top of the shelves, the ladder,whatever that is directly under his left elbow) His face looks a little soft focus to depict the strength mentioned in the title. Despite that, it's a very appealing photo.
Great shot! The lighting is wonderful! I'm left wanting a shallower DOF, but to me it's not tradgic enough to score down much at all for it. The tonalities of the face are just unbelievable!!!
This is a really nicely composed photo. The subject matter, the model's expression, the older looking weights, very nice. The only thing I would look to change is the background. It's a little distracting (the ladder, the screen door, broom, baseball bat). These all take away from what you are portraying. Also, the choice of black and white is good, but when shooting in b/w I would say your subject(s) should stand out from their background. In this case, the grays are too close together to really *pop* out at me. Otherwise, great shot.
