Would have loved this more absent the shadow on wall. Regardless, a strong image with a tart expression to give character.

Well, not leading lines, but interesting face. If you HAVE to use a flash, move your subject well away from the background to avoid the shadow.

Don't like the harsh shadow on the background. Try putting the background farther behind your subject to fix this problem. Also, although there are lines in this photo, I don't feel that they are leading my eye to anything.

I think this is a really cool shot, but I don't see the "leading" in the lines. Still, if I were your dad, I would be thrilled to have this image. He looks like a character. I'd like to see his chin, because the transition from light at his forehead to darker down around his mouth is nice. It would be good to see that transition completed at the bottom of the face.

While the somewhat harsh lighting on the forehead adds to the overall effect, I feel that the shadow behind is a little distracting.

This is a wonderful portrait, but I don't really see "leading lines."

...those eyes! Does he have a spooky laugh? Nice job.

Harsh flash is a pretty major distraction. Angle of the shot could be interesting against a different background. Nicely focused. Good job using sharply defined wrinkles to bring definition to the face. Keep shooting. This shows a lot of promise.

yes, he has lines but what are they leading me to? his ears? if im supposed to look at his ears, why are they so close to the edge? my eyes might follow the lines to the ears and out of the frame and I might miss the rest of his interesting face.

too much flash, i think, and the harsh shadow behind the head distracts. i feel this shot would have been more effective with a more natural lighting, less glare, less shadow and more contrast within the face itself. 5

Wrinkles yes, furrowed brow yes, leading lines no.

While I see lines in Dad's forehead, they lead me to his ears. He has an interesting face but the angle really does not flatter him. Lighting harsh but DOF well done.

And they lead to? Wisdom and experience :)
