Dewy Matthews - Cowboy

I think you could have taken more advantage of the dramatism of the rugged face with a tighter crop on the left side. Square crop cutting left side by the edge of shoulder, and right side a litle right of the ear, looks great, end helps to drive attention to the expression and skin texture.

I do not see how the white border adds to the image. Still a good portrait..7

Nice composition and processing. It might be a manual hdr. Not sure if it is tonemapped, but I like it.

Some how I do not like the haloish processing of the bg. Other than that a very nice portrait
