At first glance this is merely a candid snap, but then one notices all the many interesting elements. Beautiful colors, the background colors seem to compliment the handsome model's coloring. One side of his face is a bit shadowed, but his eye is bright. Unusual placement in frame, and I like how the dark shirt along the bottom indicates his body position. Best of all it avoids looking flat without resorting to overprocessing. Good job.

Nice portrait. I like the distressed background, the expression, the shadows on his face, use of shallow DoF. Composition seems oddly weighted to the bottom... I'd prefer if it was a little closer on the face and the face a little more in the upper right, but that's not to say it would be better, just an option. Well done.

I like your location choice for this portrait. He fits the scene very, very well. I would like to see a bit more lighting on his face.

Strong portrait, maybe a bit too much at the top, could be more intimate.

Good gritty treatment. Good dof and lighting, making him pop from a background that could have been distracting.

Its good. I kind of think to much was cropped from the bottom but its got nice lighting and looks very natural.
