Hey, one of your 8 10's checkin in after the challenge. Surprised to see this so low (although 22 isn't THAT low). I'm adding this to my favorites. Excellent photo.

This is a nice portait, the soft focus works well with this shot as does the depth of field, my only suggestion would be to have all of the subject in focus, the central part of the tshirt is out of focus. 9.

You've got one talented photo taking family there (your mum and dad must be proud). Maybe the focus is just a little too soft for my liking, but the DOF is excellent as is this capture. Well done !! You'll be looking back on this shot in years to come with great pride

Little too soft for my liking, focus appears to be on the ear/collar area.

Beautiful portrait except for the softness in his eyes, eyes need to be tack sharp. Also cropping a bit on the left to leave more room in front of him would help the composition.

I don't usually comment til the end of the week, if I have the time, but had to comment on this right away. This is absolutely one of my favorites this week! Great DOF, the black and white is perfect for it, your composition works so well, and his expression is wonderful! Some peeps will probably "slam" you for the soft focus, but that's what really makes this shot for me. Heck, I'd hang it on MY wall, and I don't even know the handsome young man! Great work! 10

I like this. I like the soft focus (many won't). I don't like the crop.......I see too much background (void). The light on the top is a little distracting. I do like this young-man. He is good with the camera, a great model for you. Intense gaze.....very good.

Nice portrait. Good lighting and tone. Bright patch top left is a distraction, but not sure how you could lose that without reshooting (or losing part of his head).
