You are Clint Eastwood in his old westerns. I kinda like the grainyness but those two white spots (noise?) beside his nose have got to go!

Interesting effect but he's lost the end of his nose. Well captured expression though.

This is quite a nice "old-time" photograph, and the expression is wonderful. I applaud your courage in submitting a photograph of this type into the DPC "NeatImage wins Ribbons!" world. The subtle intensity in this photo plays well with your title, but it would work just as well with an "untitled", as the mood shines through, and one can't help but imagine what this man is thinking. Great job.. one of the better photos I've seen. Good luck staying out of the 4s.

Image is grainy. It's a great close-up otherwise, but it's noise & lack of clarity are distractions. (5)

Too much PP on this Clint Eastwood style shot. Could have been a promising shot if taken well without PP.

I think the rough, slightly mottled texture of this photo suits it very well. Nice tigh framing. Good idea with the hat too. I get the feeling he's sitting on a horse ready for a shootout. [10]

Not minimalism - See Websters "a style or technique (as in music, literature, or design) that is characterized by extreme spareness and simplicity "
