 So glad this finally clawed it's way up to a 6+ score. Yes, it's my dearly beloved again (sitting in the living room watching a cowboy film ;-)
Thanks loads for the comments.

A different portrait and lighted in a unique way, this image clearly meets the challenge criteria. Intense and purposeful, it conveys an impression of thought and concentration that has been unmatched so far in comparision to other lighted portraits in the challenge. With no major issues, this is an excellant entry and should place in the top ten if not a ribbon winner.

I'm guessing IreneM here. Like the lighting and the pose with the far off look in his eyes. Would prefer it without the sunnies though.

Great portrait Irene!! the resulting shirt pattern may be a bit distracting. I can think of nothing else as a possible improvement.
