faces like these just seem to be made for b+w...it works well in color, but I believe it could have been even better

I like the expression that you have captured. The eyes (iris and pupil) need to be much clearer however; I think post-processing altered their appearnace.

Whoa, dude needs an eyebrow trim haha. Actually I think those covering his eye kinda distracts from the image a bit. These kinds of portraits are huge on the eyes, they make or break the photo.

Very nice. Love the colors and the detail in the shadows. The texture of the paint is almost tactile. Excellent exposure. Great symmetry.

Reflections in Color

Comment by Fromac:
I'm surprised that it's taken this long for this photo to get a comment. Oh well. Here goes.

I think the colours really work; both the water and the boats.

I like that you let the boats run out of frame but I think it would have more power to crop a little off top and bottom...to mimic the proportions of the boats and to lose the blobs of shadow near the top left.

Very pretty.
