Well done! Like a shot from an old Universal movie. Your friend should add this to his portfolio. (Btw, my four Free Study favorites ended up 25th, 54th, 64th and 116th!) |

Stunning shot. Like a scene from a 40's mystery or horror film. |

Very well done. Love the shallow DOF. My kind of portrait. |

This is a new comment series for me, so please bear with me while I find my style!
(Voted earlier)
This is one of my 9s - I like it a lot. Furthermore I think it enriches the DPC collective portfolio. Put simply, I wish we saw more stuff like this. Let me tell you why it pushes all the right buttons for me:
1. I like quirky portraits and this one certainly qualifies - you've made some really good choices here. This feels like a rooum but I'm not sure why.
2. The DOF intrigues me - I think it is lens induced - looks a bit like what I get with my 85mm f/1.2 but the fall off seems to be even greater.
3. DOF aside, where you've placed the plane of focus is just perfect - passing straight through the irises.
3. The monochrome toning is perfect - just a hit of sepia.
4. The deadpan expression of your subject is highly compelling - engaged but somehow dismissive.
Overall, a fine piece of work. |

Almost reminds me of Christopher Walken. |
