7 - Very nice clarity and coloring and lighting (even with the blown areas), just the crop and the framing. Wonder about a variation in the framing but, the crop - if you had cropped tighter at the top (especially to eliminate top left darker corner) make this much better in my opinion - even though obviously, the ears chopped would remain, which still works as is but, may be better 'with', who knows.
This makes me wonder what's running through his mind. *smile* He seems as though he's a million miles away......dreaming of fields of birds and catnip. Lovely shot!
Nice lighting and detail and I like how the face fills the frame; might have cloned/cropped out that bit by the upper right ear where I'm guessing the chair ends.
