I know this has absolutly nothing to do with the picture itself, but I think you could have done better on the title. I like the photo, and can see for myself that it is hi-key. 8

Wow! I like this photo very much. The high contrast emphasises the details of the face and the cloths very nicely. One of my favourite photos this week. -stephan

A bit too much contrast for my tastes, but I understand that may have been intentional. I feel like if there was a larger range of tonal values, I could get a better look at his face and more of a texture feeling from his clothes and the furniture.

Not so much the light source at play here as playing around with yopu camera's balance and contrast.

This is a pretty nice picture. I don't like the title of it. I think we can tell it's high-key, well at least I can and I don't know squat. But forget the title, we're critiquing pictures here betwixt arguing in the forums. This is a nice portrait with some pretty BRIGHT lighting, on purpose of course. I don't like the hand on his head. would've been more effective posing in some other fashion. But aside from that, nice job - Inspzil

Great portrait! Mini-nitpick...i wish the chair wasn't textured...it draws my eye away from the subject. 8 Lisa

Excellent portrait. The fingers on the head stop the eye leaving the frame. Theres a tiny blemish above his elbow.
