| Brad, your mastership is just not being seen for what it is. What a wondeful portrait. |

| (Unfamiliar with this movie, so I'll vote on quality.) This image has nice lighting and composition, 7. |

| I am not familiar with either versions of the movie so I am just going to give you the benefit of the doubt and just judge this on the composition & technicals (plus I couldn't find any photo matches on Google:-) but that does not mean it does not exist just that I cannot make a good comparison) Let's see lighting is very good and it illuminates your subject very nicely. We see many sharp details from the individual hairs in his beard to the crow's feet around his eyes. His eyes - now there is where I would have liked to see more off. Yes, he has the squint that many fisherman have from avoiding taking in too much light glinting off the surface of the water, but I still think a bit more of the whites of his eyes along with more of the pupils visible would create more visual impact. Eyes are the window to the soul. The B&W tones are good but could be even better if there was a stronger contrast between the highlights & shadows. Bumping up contrast and playing with the Highlights/Midtone/Shadow levels in PP would give this a greater and more dynamic range of tones. |

| I see the old man, but where is the proof that he is even near the ocean. Come on, throw a bone. Give a skiff, a fishing pole, water, sand, something. |

| Wonderful character shot. The bright region just over subjects left shoulder is a bit of a distraction, otherwise I love the composition and lighting. |
