Good, initimate portrait. The eyes and simple smile really cut through the weathered features.

A very gritty personality - well captured and nicely processed. The tight and off-balance composition is growing on me too. Hope this does well.

for me this is just to processed...I like the gritty feel of it but it's just over the top IMO...
