Well, to be honest, I know he's smiling, but he almost has a grumpy look on his face. :) I would also try not so tight of a crop, showing more of his upper body, and perhaps angled a bit. Other than that, you did a good job with your b/w conversion. Is there a black backdrop behind him, or did you burn out the background? If there's a true background, I would recommend blurring it rather than burning it, as it gives your subject a 3d feeling. Hope this helps! :)

Well .. this glass isn't even half full! :) Your lighting is a little harsh, and this could do well with a different crop - not so centered, and give the top some more breathing room. Nice concept, tho. Good luck!

Very interesting. The glow on the bottom right is a little distracting, but I like your crop. Good luck!

This would have done better with utilizing all of the 640 pixels you are allowed. Your subject is very cute, however. Good luck!

Interesting subject. I think a different angle or crop would have worked better for you. The colors are great. Good luck!
