What a genuine smile. I like it. Not crazy about the halo effect around the image though.

Great choice of subject for the shot. The person has a lot of character and is quite interesting to look at. I like the tight, close up framing, it gives a great chance to show off detail. I feel that there are a few factors holding this shot back though. For a portrait type shot like this, the focus should really be tack sharp on the eyes. It seems like here, the focal plane is just a little off. It looks like the nose, mouth area and beard are sharper than the eyes. Also, lighting wise, it is very harsh on the side of his head, that whole bright area is blown out. And the 'vignetting' thing, don't know if it is natural or added in post, but for me, it just doesn't seem to work for this image.

Are those cinamon buns? I don't like the photo (blurry at the bottom) but still I give it a 9.

Whats the vignette? That really really detracts from what could have been a good portrait.
