 Removed the windex bottles, etc. in the background, upper right. Cropped tighter, but couldn't get tight enough to take the knees out and putting more of them in looked really bad. Originally was just a snapshot at the car races.

Didn't know him from Adam and wasn't about to ask him to pose!!!! I really like the result (except the glasses reflection).

Great shapshot portrait of someone who is "into it" big time.
You may be able to reduce the reflection in the glasses quite a lot with the same tool that you use to remove dust bunnies. I have done that before, just keep working to the center of the reflection from the edges of it, blending the darker outside edge into the reflection. Experiment with different size brushes with the tool.

I think is really close to a great portrait. It gets let down a little by the fact that you can't see his eyes, this is partly due to the reflections and partly due to the angle of his head, also it would be good if you could bring his cap back into the picture as it is currently lost which has the effect of chopping the top of his head off. Barring that, good pose, great colours, nice decluttering and interesting character.

The pose is at a nice ange and the overall appeal is good however the ball cap brim and the reflection in the glasses are a bit distracting.
