His face is a bit dark. A good candidate for some light dodging.

little too much empty space up top, but other wise great detail. 8.

Very nice portrait. The face is very good--nice catchlights and expression, lots of detail, and good lighting. However, there seems to me to be too much negative space at the top of the frame. You might want to crop down to about 3/4" above the model's head. Also, there are some hotspots on the white shirt that you might want to tone down a little.

nice idea, color good, too much negative space on top therefore crop needs work, b&w good, nice light, nice dof, nice angle, nice texture, good portrait, overall just a nice piece

Technically well done portrait. I miss the eye contact. All this imo, obviously. Good luck!

Just an opinion but I think this could have been cropped almost to the top of the guys head. Otherwise great exposure, nice tones.

Nice environmental portrait. It really conveys a bit of who this man is.

Man this great. If I had to be picky, it would be the brown brach above his head.

Nice technically, but woul dhave pulled down and left less empty space overhead. That, or composed horizontally.

Nice portrait and great expression around the eyes, but I feel too much space is left at the top.

Good portrait, seems to be a bit too much space above his head, a slightly tighter crop may have helped. Nicely executed shot however as far as colour, DOF and exposure.

Too much space at the top. Too much space makes him appear short. I would think you would want this fellow to fill the frame, with his eyes on the third. Great expression, colors.

I wish there was more light on his face or at least one side of his face.

Such character in that face!!!!!

Focus is spot on.
