wonderful communication with your model... I get a sense of who he is through your portrati. One of my favorites this challenge

excellent character portrait. I wish there was a little more room at the top of the frame, though

This is cute and it has impact. The screening of the image made some burnt spots in the shirt. Reducing this effect would make it very excellent (maybe if the hat wasn't cut off, it would be better, too).

I would like a little space between the top of the head and the frame...
I like the processing, though the shirt is a bit blown out in places.

At first, I wasn't crazy about the saturation. The more I look at it though, I get an old world sense to it. I like having the subject in the chair - it works.

I love your composition. I take it that you intended this to look like an old photo.

An interesting character for sure. Pity the shirt is burnt out in several areas, but a good shot overall.

Interesting processing. Not my favorite style but different. Cool chair and great subject. Not wild about some of the colors....some are flattering, others aren't, but the overal feel of the shot is very nice. I'd love to see some close up portraits of that interesting face in the future.

Beautiful image and excellent lighting. Wish you had left a hair more room at the top. :) 8

Good photo, I think this would benefit from a tighter crop from the waist up.

Nice portrait but cropped a little too tight on the right and at the top.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/12/2005 10:27:47 AM
great model, i am sorry that the top of his cap and left elbow are cut off, makes the composition seem un intended. In a more spacious framing the modle's tilted seat would have added to the style, with the framing so tight, it hurts. Anyway, I like the shot and the slightly washed out colors you used, I hope it does well since there is a ton of personalty here, and i like the old world feel.

The lighting is too bright, especially on his shirt. I would like to see the focus be on his face and showing more detail.

This is Great! I Love it! Very Original when you think of the title. Love his expression.

Oh how I wish wish wish that the crop wasn't so tight at the head. So far, my favorite in this challenge.

Nice Grunge Effect on this photo. I bet this guy could tell a story or two! 8

Wow! Love the grain. If this photo weren't in color, it would look a hundred years old. Great job!
