Nice lighting in this portrait. There's too much dead black space on the left. I would have cropped that away to just before where his shoulder becomes visible. |

Wonderful lighting and composition. A bit more light on his actual eyes would enhance, though, I think.
Not voting yet. |

I'd say use a portrait crop as the negative space isn't really helping |

IMO I would have crop the left side a little bit. Nice shot! |

Jack Nicholson. Not someone you'd want to mess with lightly. |

a masterful portrait...more than a face you have captured a sense of the person, and the lighting is used with the touch of an artist... |

I am not normally a fan of low key portraits but this one is so well done, I have to give it best in class. You've not only shown us an interesting face, you have given us an interesting "person" with a real personality and his own emotional payload. |

I like this portrait - it tell a story - only thing is the harsh light at his forehead |

I like the lighting through the lower half of the face. Maybe a tad bright on the forehead. |

Wow, what a great portrait - I think the blown highlights on the head could perhaps be rescued in post processing, but nonetheless - a great image. 8. |

Dark, emotionial, mysterious and just perfect. Shadows and light are spot on IMO. Love how this makes me draw my own lines. Such a gem, no questions. 10 |

good composition and interesting lighting style, the blown light on his forehead could have been avoided with a softer light source |
|

Superb. Lots of Henry Fonda, which is apt because it's a wonderfully theatrical portrait in terms of lighting, positioning and his orientation not for the camera, but for some unseen, probably imaginary audience. 8. |

Wish the lighting hitting the forehead was better controlled. Could also be toned down during post processing. |

Very powerful shot. The lighting is VERY dramatic and serves its purpose. I just wish there were a tiny bit of light in the eyes so we can see where he is looking. |

The blown out spot on his head bugs me, but I like the tones and colors on his face. |
