		| | If those reflections in the glasses could have been avoided it would have helped a lot.  The detail and character in this shot is wonderful though. |

		| | Nicely lit, bot the reflections in the spectacles are distracting - perhaps take 'em off next time? |

		| | I like the way this face just sort of hangs in midair!  ...not old...mature! :-) |

		| | Nice shot overall. However, I would like to see the right side of the picture slightly lighter. And I wish I could see more of your neck, it appears as though your head is floating. Is that what you were going for? |

		| | everything is great, except the glare in your glasses...good shot. |

		| | What a great portrait picture. I just love the way how you 'separate your head' from the surroundings. While the reflection on the glasses might be a little distracting I think they also add some depth to the photo. (8) |

		| | Ok, you may be getting old ... but you're in good company! I would change only two things about this photo -- 1. I would like a slight bit more light in the eyes to  generate catchlights, and 2. I would like to eliminate the reflections on the glasses. Other than that, you've done a superior job! |

		| | I think this is a great photo, from one oldie to another.  I would have liked to see a hint of shoulder, though, rather than the head kind of floating in space.  Or, do I need to recalibrate my monitor?  High marks anyhow, good job! |

		| | Absolutely super light and I love your expression. Excellent work 9 - floyd |

		| | A hovering head.. Sorta kinda creepy. Tilting your head slightly forward or backward would have killed those reflections in your glasses, might be worth considering. Nice sharpness and lighting, though. (6) |

		| | Nice idea! I like this overall though find the eyes too much in shadow and focus a little soft. | 
 | 
		
			|  | 06/19/2003 09:43:13 PM | 
		| | But not too old to take a great photo, obviously! | 
 |

		| | Very nice, straightforward... not sure about the black shirt on black background, kinda creates this floating-head-in-space effect.  Wonder what the same shot would look like in a white shirt. | 
 |

		| | where's your body!?!?!? LOL. Neat shot. Not older, just wiser! |

		| | Glare in glasses is kind of distracting.  Nicely lit. | 
 |

		| | Ahh so what!  We improve with age! About your picture.  I like the black bg, which provides a good contrast for your face.  Also nice to see some people still smile...lol One nitpic is the glare on the glasses.  Would have been better without that, since it obstructs a view of,  the all important, eyes.
 Good job!

		| | nice.. but enhance the definition and  maybe more light. | 
 | 
		
			|  | 06/18/2003 12:26:39 PM | 
		| | ...but handsome none-the-less.  : ) |

		| | My first 10 - I think this is first rate, captures the spirit and the mood, nice to look at. |

		| | Reflections in the glasses are very off putting in an otherwise very nice picture. | 
 | 
		
			|  | 06/18/2003 02:01:34 AM | 
		| | Getting older...but still good looking. | 
 | 
		
			|  | 06/18/2003 01:55:38 AM | 
		| | but your aging well. and look how great the black and white works for you. 9! | 
 | 
		
			|  | 06/18/2003 12:49:41 AM | 
		| | Col Sanders or Kenny Rogers? OK Joke aside, nice focus and soft lighting. Good blending of darkness to make the face appear floating. 7 |
