The texture adds some wonderful character to this image. Makes it look like a painting.

Good placement and symmetry of your subjects. I think the image needs a bit more contrast though.

Definitely underrated. This is one of the two 9s I gave out in the challenge. (I gave no 10s).

He looks like a Boots, as in Puss 'n Boots.

The exposure on the face seems ok but there are some blown areas at the top of the image.

I suspect the crop was to get rid of as much of that as possible.

The nose seems to be a bit more in focus than the eyes. An increase in DOF would probably help with that.

*** Critique Club ***

First impressions: There's a sense of strength here. The diagonal placement of the main subject helps with that.

Composition: Choice of angle for this shot I think works very well. It might even be improved if the main subject were placed at a steeper diagonal.

Exposure: For the most part the exposure seems pretty good though there is a bright spot in the lower left which draws the eye away from more interesting areas of the image.

Impact: I think the impact is drawn from the repeating patterns and use of the diagonal.

Keep shooting.

Cheers!
