Very classic, very good! But I hate the "N/A" in the photographer's comments. I love coming back to find shots I've enjoyed in the challenge to see the story behind them, or at least the setup! Edit - thanks for adding the notes - much appreciated!

At first, this doesn't seem like something that would do well at DPC because it is such a straightforward shot. But the gaze, the lighting, and the clarity of the subject makes this an interesting study in photography.

This is such a standard portrait - but something about his smirk or his eyes - - this just captivates me! 10!

decent, standard portrait, looks kind of rote studio, not very exciting

This gets an 8 from me. Your lighting, composition, and background are all simple, but you've managed to show this man for who he is, and that is what a portrait is!
