Nice portrait. The details of his face are well showcased with the variations of brown tones. The crop might be a tad narrow but that's just my taste. I like heads filling the entire frame, but I might like a tad more area to the left of him to balance out the long height of it.

Hi! Here�s a comment from the Critique Club.

First Impression:
Nice shot! Scruffy beard and detail good! What�s that in the glasses?

Composition:
May have been cropped a little tight, but not much. Reflections are a little distracting. Don�t know if you wanted them or not! With no post processing comments, I don�t know what you were trying to achieve.

Subject:
Excellent capture. His expression begs for a comment balloon.

Technical:
It all works. Focus , DOF and lighting.

Summary:
Not much to say. Very nice picture from a composition and technical point of view. With an 89% placement in a very tough challenge, I agree with the voters.

Greetings from the Critique Club

This photo brings out some of the personality of the model. Nice textures on the face, and the pose works well, giving the feeling of a glimpse into his real self, not the facade seen in standard portraits. The red headband is especially useful, adding a touch of color and generally complementing the subject. Lighting is a bit harsh, but probably unavoidable for a candid shot like this and certainly adequate; nothing important is burned out or in deep shadow. The balance is poor, with the cropped head but full chest. I think framing the photo a little higher, getting the whole head and less chest, would have been more effective, both improving the balance and minimizing the white area that tries to grab the viewer's attention.

Sorry for your place. I didn't vote all the photos of the challenge, but this was my only 10. I think is superb, and is added to my favorites. That is one of the things of DPC, we're a great and big community and there are many different opinions.
Regards.

Good contrast, and good detail...the weathered neck skin and moustache hairs are especially good. Sad but good title. 10
