I like this very much. It is striking and not the "typical" portrait. The lighting is wonderful and helps add to the drama of his countenance. I love the beard and craggy face. Your use of negative space helps showcase his features. I wish it were a bit tighter zoom, as I'd like to really study all of the textures of his skin. Well done.

Nice picture. Interesting lighting. I think it's kind of funny, though, that the tip of his nose is lit.

What a stunning image! The composition is so simple and yet so effective. I love the contrast that you brought out and the way the water sparkles against the darkness of the image.

Perhaps the only complaint that I could make (and only if I was being extremely picky) is that IMO the writing on the left hand sail detracts from the rest of the image as when I was looking at the image in depth I found myself trying to figure out what was written there.

But that is, as I said, only if I was being extremely picky.

Well done on a great image!
