Nice effect. I think with a square composition I'd vote this higher. Getting rid of that dead space on the right would let his voice leave the frame. 7

I would have liked to see more of his eyes, but the shot is still very expressive IMO

Love the character study and crop, just wish the shadow detail was a bit more pronounced, bringing his eyes out of the darkness.

Great portrait. The eyes could have been a bit lighter, though. Maybe a bit more dodging, or layering with an exposure layer to brighten the eyes a little. 7

Every photographer's portfolio should contain a roughly textured fisherman, and here's yours! The PP is a little gratuitous for my taste though, especially in the texture of the clothes which distracts the eyes from the face. The crop could be much tighter, maybe to the bottom of the beard. The current crop takes attention away from the eyes, especially as the eyes aren't using rule of thirds. Shame the circular logo on the cap has been chopped off... I would definitely have included that rather than the upper torso. The light in the background is not good at all and spoils the photo significantly. Other than that, interesting expression and composition.

great face, perhaps too saturated on the colors, the yellow light is unfortunate

An interesting character...I bet he has some stories to tell. Wonderful color, tones and clarity in this photo. Great job!

nice job capturing the essence of a man - I really would liked it more if we could have seen his eyes a little better - they look remarkable.

I like his pose and your processing, the dead space isn't bad, I think it adds to the mood of the image but that light(?) is a tad distracting so close to his face

Nice shot. The finish technique you have used make this appear a little surreal.

Good detail but a little dark and noisy.
