A little dodging & burning, cloning, sharpening, and curves.

I spent the past week in France and Italy and took hundreds of pictures of awesome scenery and architecture, only to find out later that the challenge during that time was "Color Portrait". Blaah. But I wanted to submit something, so I did this one at the last minute. It actually captures pretty well how I felt when I found out the challenge topic.

I like the lighting scheme, especially the catchlight in the eye on the left (right eye), although I might have tried to tone down the shininess on the face just a tiny bit.

Good use of light to dark, but perhaps a little too dark on the left - or maybe it's just my monitor. Nice portrait.

The dramatic look is great, but I would have liked to have seen just a bit more of the left side of his face. It could be my monitor, but all I see there is a pin point of light from his eye and it is distracting instead of adding value.

I like it. Good lighting and shadows, the hairline color border adds a nice touch as well.

exposure and tonal range are good. shadows are a bit too dark on the right of his face. the use of a reflecting card or the like (e.g., big piece of white cardboard, a white cloth) held outside the frame can work wonders in shadow reduction.

i like this, i think the shadow is a cool effect, and a good looking model is always a plus ;-) 8

Too much red tones......the whole photo has a pinkish cast to it. Awesome intensity in the eyes.

would have been even better without the shadow

Really good pose and lighting. Eyes are overdone though. Like the border too.

I love the ligthing effect of this on just 1/2 of the face. Very artistic and well done.
