| the leathery face and lower lighting compliment...the shallow depth and eyes completes this man's story.7 |

| It looks like you might have done topaz or something to bring out the detail in his face, since his face was in shade. I think you balanced the bright parts of the image and the shade on his face very well, but all the detail in his skin makes him look much older than he probably is. That could be interpreted as negative, which I'm guessing you probably didn't intent (based on the title). There is also something bouncing light on his face from below (maybe even the ground?). Lighting from below is called "monster lighting" (no, I didn't make up that name), which also adds to that unintended (or so I assume) negativity in this image. He has a wonderful face, but I think these two elements that create a negative atmosphere are hurting the image...unless, of course, you intended to do that, in which case it works very well. I apologize for my bluntness and I hope I didn't offend you. |

| Nice close up. Very intimate. The processing is overdone. His face is nicely textured and tells a story. I'm not sure it need to be puffed up or enhanced any. |

| The processing is pretty far over the top. You don't need all that. |
