Very nice! I gave this a high score- the colors are great, the lighting is perfect and it has that natural feel to it even tho he is posed-which is hard to get ImO --beautiful choice of location too-

If I were a parent paying for my son's portrait, I'd be very pleased if the results were this good. Excellent subtle colors. Love the restraint shown here -- it is not oversaturated or oversharpened. Interesting that you went with a nearly square crop.

Terrific - tighter crop? Do we need to see all that tree? You've got the lighting just perfect.

Well done, very matter-of-fact, pleasant and pleasing. Lighting is adequate.

Great detail, not quite sure about the background. I find myself leaning hard to the left looking at this photo.

What a handsome young man. A very clear photo, love the pose and the setting.

if the background was lit up in this, this would be an awesome picture. it is nice already but have a light foreground and a dark background make your eye settle a little too much on the bottom half of the shot

Now this is a great shot. Setting, mood, pose are all right. 10
