Or maybe, dinner time? Just kidding. Well-titled. Just the right amount of softness.

Comment by Brad:
Your crop/composition really works very well here.
Nice to see the image grain in a great black & white, when the trend seems to be smooth things over, even to the point of looking like plastic skin.
Only thing I could suggest would be having the crop in such a way as he is looking into the frame, rather than out of it, but then again it wouldn't have the smae feel. Nevermind ignore me, I'm a lunatic - lol
Well done!

The graininess of the portrait is offset by the smoothness of the glasses and the reflections within the lenses which is really effective. I like this .. its an interesting image.

Comment by rinac:
Great close up and I love the 'film' grain. The only nitpick is the crop. My guess is that this was composed in camera and so there isn't much that can be done about the bottom crop (would have preferred to see more chin), however, I would've been inclined to crop the top right down to about an inch above the topmost brow to give more importance to the face. As it is now, I feel like I'm being presented with the subject's forehead and hair line first before being able to enjoy the rest of what this image has to offer :P
