Congrats on a nice finish and your second highest score so far.
Camera Work/Technical: Great focus and really nice detail capture. The sweat beads, the zipper and the leather texture all jump out and grab the viewer's eye.
Lighting: Very well done, and I'd call it a successful first. I like the mood created by the lighting, but I'd like to see that right eye with a bit more detail.
Composition/Content: This is a very strong composition that benefits from the strong expression here.
My Opinion: Great work, and a fine score. I think with some detail in that eye, you'd have easily been at a 7.

The first impression that comes across is one of serious intent. The lighting works very well, though I'd have liked just a touch more on the left to see just a bit of the other eye. The framing and angle of your head works perfectly, and I like the way the V in the jacket echos the V that's formed on your forehead. I also like the subtle gradation on the background color, which adds depth. Very well done!

| This was a wonderful portrait and I truly thought it would be ranked much higher than it was. I love the lighting and shadows! |

| Everything works together really well in this shot - the lighting, attire, gaze and background together give an almost sinister (for lack of a better word) effect. The lighting and focus on the front eye really force the viewer to connect with the subject. Excellent! |

| Intersting. I like the look, but the blue cast on the left side of the face is distracting. Very sharp, and moody. |

| I like the light, the pose and just about everything except your persperation. It is really noticeable because its created a group of highlights on your forehead. Nit picky really, but I noticed. Still, Great work. |

| Nice lighting and background. This looks like a studio shot. Kind of unimaginative, though. |

| Sharp as a bloody tack. Great lighting. I have got to get my lens figured out for SP, it is always a hair soft. At any rate, an ace shot. |
