Excellent lighting and shadows. This capture makes him look like a wealth of wisdom.

Smooth, moody composition which appeals to me and a big plus for no visible post processing. Beautiful work, congrats.

Nice portrait... would like to feel a bit closer... seem like too much head room. Good work though

Have I seen this extraordinary-looking man somewhere before? His expression does speak more than words. The lighting and the composition serve to enhance that. Crisp, beautiful, somehow both dramatic and understated. Although he does not fill the frame - he does! He projects a force of personality around him - and your narrow DOF helps the viewer to visualize that. My favorite so far. 10

i like the basic idea, but feel the composition is missing something. maybe the birds are too close to the bottom, maybe there is a little too much or too little space at the top? i'm not sure, but something is just not engaging me here.

great lighting, background, everything.
Very moving picture, wonder if it could stand a tighter crop.

tighter crop at the top would be better.
