I like the tones on the image. I don't particularly like the grain, though. It doesn't create a pleasing halo in the hair. The strands on the top of the head are especially distracting and pull down what could be a very strong and beautiful image.

Good pose, interesting expression. I don't think the grain enhances the photo really, though it does give some life to the shirt. For me, the sharpening really sinks the shot though. Other than that, I like it.

Comment by Phil:
I love the capture a LOT and the grain doesn't bother me much but what's getting to me a bit is not the halo around the subject but the haloing directly through the hair. Good shot though.

I like this and I can't comment on your post processing cause I'm in the learning class right now

I like her pose but I am not fond of your processing. I don't like the grain or the haloing, sorry.

As in most portraits, even kitchy kat ones, the eyes make or break the shot. In this case it was made!

I love this photo and it stand well on its own. So I feel that the grain is a distraction from the great angle and the lighting.

i read artyste's comment ... its interesting the way different ppl perceive different art ... the things that are apparently wrong with the photograph are some of the very things that i like .. i like the grain, & the sort'v messy look, especially on his shirt, i just love his expression, and altho his eye's would probably have benefited if they had been more in focus, they fit with the rest of the image ... this works so well in black & white ...
edit after another look .. i just love the shadows of his hair just about popping on his shirt and i love the contrasts going on ... the frizz of his hair especially at the very top of the image is just about cute !! :) ... i've just got to add that his expression is amazing .. and in some ways the white shirt, buttoned up to the top, doesnt live with the look .. they seem opposed in some way, which just adds to the appeal of this photograph ..

Wowee! Intense image. Love the white background - the eyes are amazing, of course.
