In this kind of "historical" shot , every detail counts , so I think that you should have taken a less modern book and 5 minutes to iron a bit the visible sleeve.
The face is beautiful , this is the best part of this study.

DeSousa I believe? Excellent lighting. The red plume makes the picture.

Oh, keep experimenting, Svetlana. :) It wasn't a good match for "portrait," but then you knew that when you entered it, right? It is a good shot, though.

Wow! You weren't kidding when you said you'd taken a departure from the norm. Can I deduct points for your not following your own successful system?....8>)

It's darkly funny, and it makes me chuckle nervously. This whole image and what it evokes is kind of Stephen King-esque......that's a good thing, I think he's really talented.

I like the minimal focus area.....it's so subtle I almost missed it and it relly adds to the mystery of the shot. This is a really different, edgy, evocative shot, Svetlana.....I like it.
