it's a bit too snapshot for my liking. Although as a mother/father you probably see so much more in this shot. I don't see it.

I agree, and this photo certainly makes it look thoroughly filthy and disgusting! Perhaps if you are still procrastinating over giving up, you should tape prints of this at strategic places in your house and workplace!

Why did you put him to the right of the photo? He looks to the right, and instinctively i would say that the look needs more space on the right to give it more impact on us. Now you break the look in my opinion.

I do like how the black hair goes into the background, connecting the two. At the same time the light gives us enough to feel the texture of the hair. The same goes for the clothing.. nice detail because of good use of light there.

However i don't like the light on his face, meaning it's good on his face, but not eyes or vice versa. The white of the eyes looks darker than the skin, which doesn't feel right. Maybe just a slight lightening of the white in the eyes? Also you have chosen for a very straight forward light, which in this case also means that his ear gets a lot of light. It's a secondary attraction-point because the hair cuts it off of the face and thus you get two points of interest, damaging the impact of the face. If you had chosen to put your light slightly to the right of you, the ear would have been in the shadow and attract less attention.

vote:5

This picture should be enough to convince any smoker to quit.

The way you processed the skin and eyes creeps me out to be blunt. The skin looks like plastic and the eyes almost glow. No offense.
