| Nice clarity and range of tones, striking contrast among skin/hair/eyes. Really good job done with focus, and offset composition works. Have you figured out by now I like this shot? :) |

| Great shot - I really like it. I love his direct gaze, and the depth of his eyes. I like your choice of framing as well. My only nit would be that the vignetting looks "grayish" compared to the sepia tones of the pciture itself. |

| Great expression and I like the border. I'm becoming more of a border fan lately. Not sure why. |

Man, is he ever going to be fighting the gals off in a very short time. Check out those eyes. Hopefully he doesn't realize this (I have a son the same way)!
You did a beautiful job capturing his inner soul (those eyes). Oddly enough, normally I'm not a border kinda person, but I like it too. |

I'm surprised that there haven't been more portraits yet. This is one of the better ones so far. A nice conversion, the starkness playing off his expression quite well. I think you could have given a little more life into the eyes though, by solidifying the pupils a touch more, and enhancing the natural catch lights. They (the eyes) remain just a touch muddy I think.
Also, you might be just a touch too far into the cyan channel with your toning. I'm seeing "green" here, which is off-setting. If you are able, try playing with Selective Color in "Neutrals", and dropping the cyan slider by -1 or -2. |

| Great portrait - almost a defiant expression, which is what you should see at that age! I always try to come up with a constructive criticism, but can't think of one - that's a good thing, I guess! |

A perfect image of "little boyhood". It makes me smile. That face is so full of "little imp" :) He's precious!

Well congrats on attemting the B&W, Also glad to see you have the computer working again.
As far as the picture, IMO you have great DOF and off centering the model really allows the BG to stand out and even up the image. I think your border is a bit large but the more I look at the picture the more it looks like it fits. |

| Nice! I might try a slight burn over the lips to give them a little more contrast, but not too much since dark lips in b/w look like lipstick. Maybe over the freckles, too, since they're too awesome to gloss over. :-) |
