Comment by posthumous:
I am thrilled that you are going out of the box, timfy! Unfortunately, I only gave you a 6, because I didn't like the offcenter composition with black background, created a big dead space imho. But otherwise this is a terrific exciting shot!

The textures are palpable in this image, with good background blur and lighting. A very striking photo.

My initial thought was that it would be nice to see some hint of his eye. But I think that thought may be wrong, as it might change the emotive feel of this. I love how you found the perfect balance of detail and grain. Well done!

Wow, Tim, this is a superb portrait accomplished through expert editing skills. This really has many qualities of a good oil painting - luminosity in the skin tones, perfect detail even in the highlights, great contrast and detail. Have you considered entering this in the Color Portrait challenge? I think it'd do well. Ok, I just realized the dates are wrong and you can't. Too bad. Great job. How'd you do the bg?

I like how you brought the light into the center. I think you could almost bring the vignetting down even further on the top, bringing more focus onto Rowan. Love the two blue swings just sitting there. Now get your neighbors to move their cars, will ya? :-)
