Back to look at this one again and... while I still agree with myself (shocker!) that it needs a top crop to make it more intimate... I just REALLY love this photograph and wanted to tell you. So, I did. :D

MAK - a great shot with that wonderful low key feel. I just wonder if a slight shift in the lighting to make his lips and mouth bathed in that soft light would have worked even better.

This should have done better! I thought top 10 for sure! Gave it 8 ... good job!

I like it. It's matter of taste but perhaps a lighter or darked background would have given more presence.

Nice low key shot, I would have liked it a little brighter on the face and darker in the background.

I'd have cropped the top quite a bit... to make it more... intimate... but... golly. I love this.
