Is it Sean Connery ??? great job- you want to reach out & smooth down those eyebrows.

Comment by macrothing:
7 - Fairly good texture capture and nice portrait. Like to see even more detail in the texture (for the Challenge), but I realize, being a portrait, it is perhaps not desired. A tighter crop, especially on the right, likely have made this even better in my opinion and given a little more 'drama'. Not sure on the 'effects', especially in the clothing at the bottom. Perhaps a variation in lighting too, although it could be the results of the filters/effects, not sure, just seems (the skin mainly) a little 'uneven', but perhaps you were aiming for this.

Comment by Dr.Confuser:
Great subject. Nicely composed and lit. Does a good job conveying emotion. But feels a little over sharpened to me. Hope it does well in the voting.

Very good portrait and a handsome subject. Very direct and intelligent gaze. It draws you in. Great capture of the texture. Those look like the eyebrows of a Scot or Irishman. I wonder if I'm correct? :D I'm not finished voting but this should be in the top 5.
