Like this type of lighting. Suggests some mystery to you.

This is a very good portrait, Peter. You're such a good-lookin' guy that you would've been hard pressed to have a miss here. You did a wonderful job with the lighting and processing, so it's not only your good looks that make the image, but your skill as a photographer too.

So this is what my friend looks like, you handsome devil :) Having only seen your teeny tiny profile photo I didn't recognize you! You look great! And I love this portrait. Way to go!

Having fun with the 10-22? I think this is a better image than its placement would indicate, it was one of my favorites, but perhaps it suffered for being one of many, many starkly-lit, in-0tight renderings? Anyway, nice to see what you look like, Doc!

nice portrait here, but the lighting is a bit too harsh at the left on your face and a bit too dark at the right. on the cap it's perfect.

That light needs to find it's way under the hat a bit more. Otherwise this is a wicked awesome portrait. Sharp as hell and great contrasty black and white. Shoulda saved it for that challenge. Or maybe you did! LOL

A great character study of roads travelled and those still pending. The lighting and focus are spot on. Bump.

I'd prefer more of your face to be lit up.

Great study!

I thinks it needs just a little more light to the eyes, but I realize that's subjective opinion. You have good focus and contrast.

Excellent focus! Love the sepias! I think this would be a perfect 10 if there was just a tad more consistent light on the top side of the face that's lit -- but its still a great portrait! 8

Great lighting that makes the image even sharper. Shades work well here ...

hats often hide the eyes from the light that doesn't please our faces.
