If you said this was a painting by one of the old masters, I wouldn't have been surprised. It's perfectly presented and I see this finishing in the medals. Congratulations and well done! Bumping for luck!

not a fan of the centered composition here ... I feel that this could be a much stronger image if you'd cropped up to his back and put him on the right side of the frame ... otherwise I really like this one ...

Crop for an extra point... Still nice capture and lighting. Above average.

Nice image. I would like to see it with the beard a tad darker, and the shadows brought out a little.

Superb lighting - has the feel of an 'old master' painting.
Might be tempted to suggest croping in from each side to remove the very dark shadow areas - the muted lighter background with vague details works better for me...

I like the lighting. The one thing I would change is to crop off the left and right black areas. 7
