Awesome photograph John.
Can't understand why on earth this didn't hit 7+
slightly sub'ed coloring is just, well, apt & sublime
Edited to remove my original swearing - oops

I love this portrait, one of my favs of the challenge! I would classify this an emotive portrait, especially because of the 60's feeling to it! Nice work!

Love this image Jon..your lighting threw me a bit as, judging from the shadows on the face (especially round the eye)it appeared to be coming from a lower level than the subject.Maybe just down to the angle of the head..you can tell I`m a real novice at this :)
Great stuff.

| I like the tones on this photo. It makes it look like a faded photograph. |

This is the only portraiture in the challenge that seems to show the subject in his realm. Love the added detail. My only real complaint is that the pen is a little blown out drawing my eye to it and away from the subject.

Where's the green eyeshade? :)
For some reason this has the feel of a frame from a 1950's-era movie ... maybe the tones remind me of aged TechniColor ... as a portrait it feels more like a candid than studio -- would have been an interesting entry for the Newspaper challenge! |

Lighting: Too bright, and could use a fill light on his left. There are several hot spots.
Pose: Well posed.
Background: works well. |

| Very interesting portraiture...not the run of the mill. Effective pose and composition. Lighting is a tad hot; perhaps that was intentional for the high-key effect. I would prefer a bit less harsh, but that's just me. Good effort. :o) |

| Very good choice of subject matter and I like your angle of view getting a clear shot of his face and the newspaper, as well. I find the lighting to be too harsh and I wish the print on the newspaper was more blurred so as not to be distracting...in other words, get a shallower DOF. |

| This has an excellent feel to it, almost '70 feel. I don't have a critique. |

| very good photo but the lighting needs a minor adjustment to be more balanced, one side of his face is almost blown out and the other is too shaded |

| Love the pose and expression! Have to think about the harsh lighting some more, it's unusual, but somehow it seem to fit. One of the best portraits overall - 9 |

| Lighting is way too harsh, a -1 FEC or the addition of a small backlight could have worked better. |

Like the composition and the lighting in this image.
The more unusual approach of lighting from low level, throwing shadows upwards has added impact to the picture. |

| Good light - good control of exposure too - highlights are just in control, shadows have detail but still look like shadows. Good character in the face, though perhaps getting him to focus on the top of the page would have made the eyes feature a touch more: they're a bit too closed here, I think. |

| i like this a lot. i don't know if it IS a good portrait though - it seems too not posed really, but then this could be testimony to your models fine acting skills, and he is posing a non-posing pose. i adore the colours and greeny-whites; did it come out of the camera that way? all the colours have the same tone to them, like the suit jacket and the background. i think this is great - 9 |

| He do's not look like a journalist, more like someone looking for some work in the newspaper and drawing a cirle around posible jobs. But lets forgett the title because the image is great. Love the lightning you get from the window on the left. This is one of the top photos this week. |
