| Nice lighting in this portrait. There's too much dead black space on the left. I would have cropped that away to just before where his shoulder becomes visible. |

Wonderful lighting and composition. A bit more light on his actual eyes would enhance, though, I think.
Not voting yet. |

| I'd say use a portrait crop as the negative space isn't really helping |

| a masterful portrait...more than a face you have captured a sense of the person, and the lighting is used with the touch of an artist... |

| I am not normally a fan of low key portraits but this one is so well done, I have to give it best in class. You've not only shown us an interesting face, you have given us an interesting "person" with a real personality and his own emotional payload. |

| Superb. Lots of Henry Fonda, which is apt because it's a wonderfully theatrical portrait in terms of lighting, positioning and his orientation not for the camera, but for some unseen, probably imaginary audience. 8. |

| Wish the lighting hitting the forehead was better controlled. Could also be toned down during post processing. |

| Very powerful shot. The lighting is VERY dramatic and serves its purpose. I just wish there were a tiny bit of light in the eyes so we can see where he is looking. |
