| I think the picture is OK but the guy's suit is really bad. I don't know from style, but I think he'd look much nicer in darker colors; blues, grays, or blacks. While the environmental portrait idea is nice, tighter on his face and upper torso would bring out his personality and eyes more. |

I like the offset placement of the subject.
I would have removed quite a few of the barbers materials in the background. Its a little cluttered.
I like shallow dof. I might blur the background out a bit to make the subject stand out.
The glare in the picture frame is distracting, I would try to remove that. I would also try to remove one of the catch lights in the eyes.
The colorful thing in the bottom is cut in half so its not a part of the image, I would have removed it or featured it. It is the most colorful thing in the shot and very much dragging my eye to it.
Using Curves, I would add a bit more contrast to the shot.
And something to think about when setting up a shot like this is to pay attention to the clothes. The bunched up wrinkled suit jacket looks a little sloppy like it doesn't fit him. Its a minor thing and not something you need to worry about in this shot. Just for future thought.

| I think the color and lighting in this photo is good. However with the background I feel like you are trying to showcase something and I can not figure out which it is. Logically I am thinking the award on the bottom left, but it is cut off. My eye is drawn first to the office supplies and then to the certificates on the wall. |
