Woo Hoo! Way to go, MAK! Isn't it great when your photo exceeds your expectations? Roy makes a fabulous subject, and you did him justice. I'd love to see a picture of his floor-length dreadlocks too. Do you have any???

Really nice, Marac - he looks like an awesome person to know - warm, caring, and a fellow who is a true friend. Which in my opinion, means you very much succeeded with this portrait, regardless of scores or ribbons. Very worthy indeed.

The slightly shallow DOF draws my attention to his nose, otherwise I think this is an outstanding portrait. Wonderful light and tones to it, and an interesting subject.
