You have asked for more comments in the gripe thread... I gave this a six which is in line with 177 other like-minded voters, 6 being the vote you received the most times. In my scale, 6 is good technical knowledge and composition, just a bit lacking in some areas.
Upon a revisit, I find that the object in the lower left hand corner to keep drawing my eye, stopping me from actually "looking" at the guy. So to improve the shot I would clone out, or crop out that part of the image. Also I find the girls behind the shoulder to be a distraction, but removing those might require a bit more work. I would have scored it more highly with those amendments as my eyes would remain fixed then on the main subject, which is a good one. Some of the other comments also mention a tighter crop which I presume is for the same reason as I suggest, the lower left corner. |

| Great street portrait. Powerful expression, and the eye contact works so well. The cigarette conspires to the expression as well. A glimpse into an interesting life makes life more interesting for the viewer as well! Well done. |

| I would have done just a touch more cropping...taken the girls out of the background and the shoulder to the left out...would have been a little more compelling |

| I am sorry to tell you I'm burned out on the genre of photo. It's a good photo of a good subject, but I can't work up any enthusiasm for it. |

| This looks like a fascinating fellow - somehow the look I'd imagined of some scoundrel you'd meet in Bombay. Reminds me a bit of Ricardo Montalban for some reason. I think it is the eyes. Very nice shot. |

| An interesting guy for sure, but the lighting is a bit harsh... you lose details in your whites, especially in the cig, his shirt, and the top of his nose. |
