Comment by Tallbloke:
I suppose the biggest questions is, why did you convert to B&W since many (I know not all)of the TrekEarth shots and Many's portraits are alive with colour? The composition and model's look are bang on but I think your B&W would benefit from a boost in contrast too. Just MHO.

Nice picture. Manny's known for his awesome colors though, I'm wondering why you chose B/W. Very nice image though!

Excellent photo. Really, really sharp. Looks really Mannyish except I'd expect vivid and bright colors.. but well, I bet he does B&W's as well. :) 10.

I knew someone would do Librodo. While the scarf and the crop are definitely Librodo, I believe Manny uses color and texture to exemplify his master and skill in portrait photography. I see the image and it leaves me wondering for more. However, I believe that this challenge should also be a direct representation of the photographer (you). I like it and it would make for a great photo for your child to cherish someday ;) My only suggestion would be to leave some space by the corner of the left eye and the scarf ;) Great job! 7
