Classic High School shot. Nicely done but the lighting seems a bit dull, leaving the subject's skin a bit dull looking. I started at a 6 but am raising to an 8 for the classic style and pose.
Classic pose, nice colors, very crisp. I might have turned his head just a bit, to avoid the deer in head lights look, but a very good picture overall. - 8 - .
Awesome job of capturing a 'school picture' looking photograph! Nice catch light and nearly flawless (though a little dull) lighting! However, the pose is a little unimaganitive and I can't get a feel for his character. It doesn't tell me much about the subject. Does that make sense?

I don't thnk your color scheme quite goes with your title (more blues than reds/browns to me), nor is it quite as low-key (a "dangerous" thing to try at DPC anyway), but I like it quite a lot the way you have it.
This young man does have an air of the young Rembrant. It is a very simple honest portrait. It doesn't say much about the subject however - a bit of a year-book photo, but a good one as far as those go.
Most helpful suggestion I can think of for this is that the pose is very traditional and that it is hard to generate a "wow" factor with a standard pose. This is a well done portrait that is up against some great ones. Best of luck.
You have a great looking model in a very straight on formal portrait. Background does look studio-like. There's evidence of two light sources - but it's not a strong demo of Rembrandt.
This reminds me of a school picture...a well-done school picture, mind you...lighting and pose are great, background is as well. None of my school pictures were ever in focus this well. :o)
a nice, old fashioned, traditionally taken, high quality portrait shot. techinically i would say this is without flaw, though i would add that the guys eyes seem a bit tense (guy needs to relax a bit) and also, does he know he looks like Shaggy from Scooby Doo? 10
"..and I would have gotten away with it, too, if weren't for those meddlin' kids..."
Very highschool yearbook looking--not too imaginative--but it looks like you know how to light this kind of portrait. His stare is a bit fixed and unnatural looking--just like in a yearbook.
