Great textures in the picture. I really like the shallow dof to separate him from the rest of the crowd. I have studied this one a lot, from the interesting eyeglasses to his expression. Your title fits perfectly and it is a truly amazing portrait.

Guess the title says it all! Excellent candid shot, very crisp/sharp with nice DOF. This guys glasses are even a little off, would love to know his story and what he does for a living. Wonderful capture!

Strong sense of fragility, and of detail here - actually, the former is probably a function of the latter. The light is wonderful. The second bloom makes something of a mess of things compositionally I fear: and likewise you've sacrificed some of the light there for the main bloom.

He could be the most interesting subject in this challenge! The way he's fixed his glasses says so much about the way he lives. I think this photo may even be improved if you'd crop in closer to get that mended lens to a third-point. Maybe crop out the left side to near his head and crop from top & bottom to get the proportion right. But I'm a cropaholic anyway. [10]

Very nicely done picture. The colors are excellent and the focus is so crisp and clear with good bokeh in the background. I can identify with this picture as my son is an eccentric, too!

A nice candid, good composition, but not the greatest expression.

I like the colors and the detail in the edges of the paper. I might have tried croping so that the edges and top of the stack are not visible so that the frame is filled with the "stripes".
