Now this is just whaat the challenge ordered. The environment is interesting and you have ensured that we can see that by lighting and including it in focus. the lighting here is brilliant. I know it looks casual and it might be but it is even across the whole portrait including the subject with just a stop difference. I don't know if this is going to score well but it should for it extreme technical competence. I was going to be bugged by the centreed composition but the overall effect of he image over-rode that. This deserves to be a full page illustration in a magazine article

That is dramatic in a deafeningly silent way. Too good for Hollywood.

Nice one indeed. I was thinking of shooting a very similar portrait. He is a master - the tools show it.

Very interesting portrait. Makes me want to poke around the shop and look at all of those tools. I like the tones and the restrained color. Nice documentary image.
