I too like the border (and I'm not, generally, a border person). But this is kind of like reading a book -quality border. It fits with the tilt. Congrats on the creativity and light!

I like the border - gives him something to lean against. He could have a bit at his feet too if you were so inclined. How did you light this? Feels integrated but I suspect you used lights? And how did you get ahold of Leonardo DiCaprio? Tones are excellent as always. I like the subtle touch of the fade to desat sorta thing.
Love the border. The picture on the right sort of ruins it.
Hmm. That doesn't make much sense. Does the opposite make any more sense?
The border at least gives him something to be leaning against. Seems to be lovely light and that one lone tree seems vaguely surreal or at least into the realm of painting, with complete control of the background elements.
dude, you're one of my hero's on this site!
this is a great shot indeed, reminded me of some movie with johnny depp in it. or was it leonardo di caprio...;)
oh and i like the border, just so you know!
Beautiful image. I really like the tones and the lighting. I'm not in love with the black bar on the left. I hope it's a part of the original view because if it's added SC might not consider it a frame. Matters not to me, this is 9 material! Congrats.
LOVE this --- the processing, the detail, the colors, the composition, his outfit, the tree in the background. One of my absolute favs in the FS. IMO just lose the border and a tad more below his right foot. 9
The composition, pose, dressing, background but mainly the light give this image the look and feel of a 17th century Netherlands painting (and I don't mind much the band on the left, though I think I could do without it). Very beautiful indeed.
Excellent shot all around. Love the classic old age feel of the shot. Don't think it needs that thick black border on the left. But then again without it he looks to be leaning way too much. Maybe add a border to the right side as well and it'll look like he's standing out of a door way but then that might be DQable. All in all if you had a shot with the young man in a different pose...
well, for me this is a great photo. interesting the use of the black band on the left side for balancig the composition, isn't a frame I don't know if is regular but this isn't mine problem. really a good image. wait only now I see the little thin black border around the image... eheheh a good trick :)
