lovely picture, very serene. if the characters on the wall are his (yours?) then his calligraphy is impressive. there are a few things that could have helped this in the post processing:

1. cloning out the bright spot in lower left
2. increasing the contrast on the image
3. a bit of sharpening

- but this remains a very good photograph in any case. 8

I like the composition and imagery. I think you need a great job framing the image with the drapery...really cool look- feels like I'm peeping in on a man lost in deep thought.

I like the material that diffuses the background making the subject stand out.

Some good contrast and I like the way your photo makes me feel like I'm looking at a photo from the 1930's - would have done well in the time capsule challenge.

Well composed and interesting image. Encourages the viewer to think about what might be going on; I like that. Maybe the tiny glimpse of (paving? jetty?) at the bottom would be better cropped out? 7

Good tonal range. Compostion feels a little awkward. 9.
