I don't think the eyes look overdone at all. Nice honest approach. I like it.

Terrific portrait/headshot - very clear and well lit. I assume you enhanced the eyes. They are striking, but the dark edge around the iris is a bit thick (unless that is his natural coloring, in which case it is just right). ;-)

Nice clean shot. Good feel of natural lighting. The only thing that kind of bigs me is the border around his pupils. A bit heavy on the burning/pimping. Seems a bit unnatural. Other than that very nice work.

Comment by Nusbaum:
Great portrait!

I have many people object when I crop off the top of the head, but this is a perfect example of why in can be so affective. By taking the entire head of the subject out of the composition, the focus goes right to the eyes.

I really like the overall pose, including the tilt of the head.

One opinion... a little more contrast may help for a portrait of a male, but that more of a topic for discussion rather than problem.

thanks for sharing!

I like this one much better, Magen. Its a very "genuine" portrait and suits a male subject well.

Handsome man with great eyes. Careful with skin softening on males, it can look too "sweet". Still very nice portrait.
