Great candid image. The depth of field is great in this image. I would cropped a little on the right side of the image.
cheers,

First impression:
Man would I love to have a 5DM2 and be able to use 6400. A nice candid and the waiters in the BG add to the composition. Well done.
Suggested improvement:
Sharpening is a bit strong as I see jaggies on the edges and the bokeh looks "blocky"

| I really like the candid. The lights and darks on the shirt are excellent only wish you had a bit more light on his face but I guess in this situation it couldn't be helped. Love the background. |

| Beats the heck out of the 24-70 2.8 in such conditions, providing you can get close enough. In this photo looks as if the focus point/plane is at the back of the shoulders / somewhere behind the eyes. |

| I see the artifacts others brought up here as well. But I have to agree this is a great pic. Nice bokeh of the background and good detail of the subject. Nicely done. Wish I could do as well as you have here. |

| Wow, that is impressive what you can do with the good lens and the good high-ISO performance! Excellent DOF/bokeh. Looks like you might have oversharpened Rob just a bit, which left you with the artifacts Paul was talking about. Might try Topaz Detail for the sharpening, it tends to be more gentle with the edges. |

A very nice image but the edit is a little strange - I'm trying to work it out... Did you select him and then mosiac the background? It is very blocky and the edge of your subject demonstrates some jaggy artefacting.
I really like your lighting but I think the eye area is perhaps a little dark - I don't know what software you have but a touch of lightening around the eyes would really help (for me).
Also (I know- enough with the critique already!!), there are a couple of key verticals, the edge of the picture and the side of the glass that make me want to rotate this image about 3 degrees counter-clockwise.
It is a really good shot though - I like the way you have introduce a great sense of depth to the image. |

| mmmm, i do love 50mm portraits. One of my favorite lens's. Nice and candid shot, and bokeh is perfect ( i love how you can make out the waiter in the background) |
