This was one of two 10's I gave....I really thought it should have placed much higher. I loved the composition and the lights in the eyes.

the skin on the face seems a bit too smooth... but otherwise it a good portrait.

Interesting textures and composition. Did you try it in sepia or black and white?

Good technique on this photo, good placement of the subject. Only problem unfortunately I have is with the eyes, they seem out of focus and/or over saturated which is really too bad. Over all good job!

Good use of light. The pose is very well done I cant really tell if its posed of a candid which adds as an element of thought as you view the photograph. Well done.

Beautiful shot despite the over gaussian blue on his cheecks and forehead. He looks plastic-like. Nice lighting and composition.

I like the framing and background. I think that the image may have been a bit oversharpened when I look at the eyes though, but well done overall

Beautiful portrait. His face looks a bit too smooth, but this is still a really nice photo.
