Comment by posthumous:
Nice effect. I think with a square composition I'd vote this higher. Getting rid of that dead space on the right would let his voice leave the frame. 7

I would have liked to see more of his eyes, but the shot is still very expressive IMO

Comment by Brad:
Love the character study and crop, just wish the shadow detail was a bit more pronounced, bringing his eyes out of the darkness.

Comment by JunieMoon:
Great portrait. The eyes could have been a bit lighter, though. Maybe a bit more dodging, or layering with an exposure layer to brighten the eyes a little. 7

Comment by BobsterLobster:
Every photographer's portfolio should contain a roughly textured fisherman, and here's yours! The PP is a little gratuitous for my taste though, especially in the texture of the clothes which distracts the eyes from the face. The crop could be much tighter, maybe to the bottom of the beard. The current crop takes attention away from the eyes, especially as the eyes aren't using rule of thirds. Shame the circular logo on the cap has been chopped off... I would definitely have included that rather than the upper torso. The light in the background is not good at all and spoils the photo significantly. Other than that, interesting expression and composition.

great face, perhaps too saturated on the colors, the yellow light is unfortunate
