10 from me - how could it be better?

You took the shot, I'll bet you got paid for it, so you're "living the life" 10 for that too. :-)

I'd like to know more about the shoot. How long did you have, did you get to set lights before he got there? or is it just a run and gun shoot?

I'm starting to shoot more like this - for pay and into situations I don't know until I get there - and I always feel hurried and rushed and I hate that part - so any input in comments or PM would be great.

Very cool shot, nicely executed. I'd really like to know how you lit (lighted?) it? I like the fact that it is a wide angle, I tend to find the more interesting portraits are done there.

This is classic - the subject's expression is perfect, and the point of view is really neat. Nice use of black and white! :)

Nicely staged and executed. It gives the subject a certain dignity.

The chess set really adds to the feel of the shot. Wonderful perspective.

Fraid not - Very rare that the subject gets to see the portraits which I think is a shame - Also. as usual the paper ended up running a very bland full length shot I also took of him in his signature robe - Very frustrating! Thanks for the comments.

I would echo the other comments here - I love this portrait. Excellent lighting to properly expose for outside and in. Great composition. It is great and inspiring to see such talent on DPC.
