| I love the low key approach. This is awesome. Great use of negative space. This is my kind of portrait. :~) |

Really cool lighting - i like how we can almost but not quite make out his face - i am just not sure about the bright outline behind his head - it is distracting to me

Composition: I like his positioning in the frame. But, I like mysterious negative space :)
Lighting/Exposure: I am particularly fond of the kicker light you have there in the back. Though his hat seems to be in perfect focus, his face/shirt seem a little oof.
Pose: This pose is perfect for what you are attempting to convey.
Suggestions for Improvements: Try closing that shutter down to f4 or f5.6 to avoid the oof areas when your camera focuses on the closest object that is lit OR force it to focus where you want it to. I would like to see a rim light, like the one on his hair/hat, on his shoulder/torso as well.
I have your type of camera and used it for over a year and a half. If you have any questions, I would be happy to help. Overall this is an excellent low-key photograph. I see improvement. Keep em comin :) |

| I would have cropped tighter as well, but I love the low key lighting, something I have to practice myself. |

for me, i'd done a tighter crop. though thats just me, im not very good at distinguishing good negative space and bad.
overall, i quite like the shot too.
