The lighting makes this photo, IMO. I like the way your brought out detail in your pp.

Very very nice. I hope this doesn't get whacked for not being super sharp - I feel you nailed it perfectly. It's such a soft expression, and the processing is consistent with that. Super nice work here. 8

Great shot. Looking right at you (and maybe even through you). Looks very approachable - almost like he's about ready to laugh.

Nicely portrait with good lighting and processing.

A great portrait with emphasis in the right places
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Don't assume that because you have an affinity for your subject, the rest of the world will too. Otherwise, a good workmanlike photo.

Excellent portrait, very well composed and a very pleasant post processing.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 06:16:26 PM
This portrait is so strong... I have returned to it now several times... The intensity of emotion, the lighting, the casualness of the pose - all VERY well done. Great work! Bumping up...

post processing adds to the image, giving the portrait a "grittier" feel

Really nice gritty treatment of a very interesting portrait. His eyes are full of mischief.

The eye dead center. So essential for a fine portrait.

Lovely portrait.

An interesting portrait. He seems to be smiling in his eyes, but not so much in his mouth. The processing is a bit strong, but not unpleasant at all.

He may be thinking deep thoughts, but we can't tell by looking.

He gazed across the table at her, as she sat there sipping her wine. He didn't know how it had come this far, but it had, and he was more than a little scared. He'd always been the player, the womanizer, the playful gigolo, but something had happened this time. Something different. Something scary but wonderful.

He gazed across the table at her and wondered how he could possibly have fallen so deeply in love this time. No more were thoughts of the one-night stand in his mind. No more was the looking forward to the next one. Not this time. This time he looked at her and he saw her there in the morning, every morning. He looked at her and he saw her by his side when he was old. He looked at her at knew, for the first time in his life, that this was the one.

He gazed across the table at her and saw her smiling at him, and he shyly smiled back, and reached out for her hand, at the beginning of something wonderful.

 03/11/2009 12:19:07 PM
I like how the muted tones and highlights serve to bring out more than a regular photograph would..

Nice portrait. I like the light and the look of the man. Not really happy with the background.
