		Well done, Jamie! My only criticism would be his face appears a tad on the soft side. I think the PP for that might have been adjusted so it looks a little more natural. Neat Image tends to over-soften skin tones and I've had difficulties with this myself so I tend to avoid portraitures.   
 
 Otherwise, it's a real gem, the expression is priceless, the pose and crop perfect. I also like the B/W tone for this. Excellent choice! I think you're definitely on the right path. Keep up the good work!! ;-) |

		| already gave you my thoughts on the editing.  I love the pose!  He does a good job conveying exactly what a lot of us are feeling during this time of year.  Great capture! |

		| Something about the focus is strange to me: it seems very crisp in some places and off where it should be sharp. Overall, I like the photo and they do look like they've had enough: 8 |

		| I wish i could get that skin texture in some of my photos.  Still trying to learn how it's done.  It works for this photo.  I like the look of exhaust of the situation. |
