Very journalistic, this a good shot, everything is fitting. The background is not too busy, the lighting is good, the grain fits, this is my kind of shot, respect to you!

French Fried Cool-Aid Hair

Look at the front of the frame on your shirt and that is where the camera has focused. It always happens to me when I do a self portrait too, my eyes are just wonky so I can never get the focus on my eyes properly :) You could have saved this a little in the PP phase by selecting the eyes, or eye in this case, and sharpening it up a bit, also maybe bringing in a little more brightness into the eye white. Lighting is good, the cross from shadows to highlights is both smooth and at the same time extreme, good work there. But like I said the main focal point is on the shirt. Thanks for sharing.

The right eye is at the same level as that (fantastic) lens and is at exactly the same sharpness. The rest of the face toward the left side drifts into softness leaving the main focal point on the lens. Other than that a good portrait!

The feel of distance to the subject works well here with the long lead up in the foreground. Maybe I would have taken just a smidgeon more off the front, but that is just me. Super sepia toning and framing, this will do very well. Bumping from 8 to 9.

Negative points first: The lighting is kind of flat with no shadows, I would have liked to have seen the lighting set up a little differently bringing in a few shadows amplifying the facial contours. Also I would have gone about the processing on the eyes a bit differently. The eye whites should contain a little more detail, here they come over a touch too white and most of the detail has been washed out. And the positive for last :) Skin tones are good, no drift into magenta or green as I see often. The composition is good with the negative space on the left. Maybe a little fan blowing the hair a little into the negative space might have worked too, but that is just me, I like seeing movement on shots like this. Focus and sharpness is good and not exaggerated. Bumping from 7 to 8 :)

Cindi this is you isn't it? This is very good! I think if you had had a strong fan or something blowing to get your hair up and flying it would have brought in some movement and relieved the static feel to it. But still, as it is, it is impressive!
