Beautifully rendered portrait! The lighting could not have been better! I like the feel of this image a lot!

Edit: I left the "not" out and it didn't say what I meant...all fixed.

one of my favorites this challenge -- you and your model work well together -- like the direct eye in the camera - grain adds to the old-time feel

My absolute favorite entry in this challenge. Ofcourse I'm also a Civil War buff - so I'm sure that's part of it. I like the young lad's eyes, and the tight composition. Good luck in the challenge - hope you get a ribbon with this one. 10

Very dramatic, the sad, young face. God forgive him, yes, very appropriate.

Very nice, one of the few I've seen so far to successfully use grain.

Comment by Joey Lawrence:
Very striking portrait, I love his tilt away from the frame to expose the gun.

I would like to see the grain less evenly spread out, you can do this on a seperate layer with eraser brush here and there, it looks too photoshopped.

I'm thinking this comes from selzter's line of portraits from his portrait project, but if I am wrong take it as a compliment... It's a wonderful series!
