The use of Neat Image or the like may look a little overdone but gives an ok effect nevertheless. I always like to apply it to such a degree that it does make a difference but without anyone knowing for sure that I used it.
I would also maybe not have sharpened the shirt as much as the rest of the image to avoid the shirt stealing focus from the main subject but this is just nitpicky stuff. He is after all not a teenager so a bit more weathered look would have been appropriate.
I love the detail with the arm/hand including the watch. The fact that he is wearing an 'old school' watch (that he probably owned since before marriage)does in my opinion tell me a lot of the man. No doubt down to earth, sensible and not at all materialistic. The one nail that is showing is 100% clean (this makes me happy!) and clipped in a way that tells me he pays attention to detail. Is he an avid golfer?
The lighting is very good and I do like the hard'ish contrast but I do see some vignetting that I definitely would have removed. You may have left it there on purpose or even added it in post edit, but I still do not think it looks good here due to the backlight which to me makes it look a little dirty.
I love the overall look of the image, the pose, expression, choice of b/w, bokeh and crop. Well done - 8.
A little less neat image/increased texture in his face and and a little softer focus on the shirt would have given you a better score from me though. |

| Hmmm there are several things I like about this image - the choice of b&w, the patterns and his expression. I don't care for the softening of his wrinkled face (looks like neat image). Wrinkles should be expressed not repressed. : P |
