Greetings from the Critique Club!

Hi Alec,
Looking at your portfolio, you have a wonderful talent for capturing people - this is one such example. Excellent focus on his eyes - and a whole world seems to be reflected in them - and nice use of shallow DOF. My only suggestion would be to crop the post on the right. While keeping it in maintains your aspect ratio (and I tend to like to do that), taking it out removes an unneeded element from the photo.

As it is, this scored pretty well for a "Best of" challenge and was well appreciated by your commenters.
