Jorge
by Oz

Comment:
Personally I don't find this a bad portrait at all, for sure Jorge has an interesting face and the surroundings give some context.
Postprocessing could have improved the colours considerably. Also, but I am not sure it would work in this case, if you work with lightroom acting on the greens (desat, hue shift, luminance) could have diminished the prominence of the chair without compromising your main subject.
Given that acts on the whole image, it's probably legal as per advanced editing.

I keep coming back for a smile, thanks for the original, unboring image :)
Actually I feel the spiral adds a lot, a concept :)

Really good portrait, should have given it an 8 on second thought.

Portrait through a window pane

Such a nice image. Having seen your outtake, I am uncertain whether there is a clear winner. Both have their merits and both are wonderful portraits.

Awesome indeed, if portrait is capturing personality, you can't be faulted in any way :)
Best wishes for a great new year to both of you!

Three faces to one person, do they actually like each other or do they just found themselves together and get along?
Do our sides convive happily and pacifically within the constraint vignette of our personality, or rather just ignore each other as far as possible? :)
And dangerous, rough seas astonishingly absent under the ruthlessly stark sun.

"one that cries, one that smiles, one says hello, one says goodbye, one does things I don't understand , makes me feel like an half man"
Such a different take from Springsteen's in this image, or perhaps not.
