Greetings from the Critique Club!!
I really do like this portrait. The Subject is nicely composed, the background is well suited, and the lighting on his face is very nice. The white shirt and hat really allow his face to be the primary focus. As the comments mentioned, there is a "hot spot" on his right shoulder. Sometimes this can be fixed using dodge and burn. One thing that might have made him stand out even more would be to sharpen him and make the background less sharp. Overall, a very nice portrait, extremely well done.

I like this a lot, good clean lines. Good masculine pose. It should do very well.

The background takes so much away from what is otherwise a really nice portrait. Too many distracting elements taking my eyes away from the model. Lighting and exposure are well done.

the cutout in the fence is very distracting. If the fence was all there it would make a world of a difference

Excellent image! The only thing that bugs me is the whole in the fence. The bright spot on his shoulder adds a nice touch to the photo.

I really like how natural this photograph looks. The only thing I could possibly suggest is perhaps to crop it a bit tighter. Nice Work! Good Luck in the challenge!

I would have had him stand down a little further so the background would just be the fence. The whole is distracting. Otherwise I like it.

Aside from the cut out hole in the background (which distracts my eyes from the subject), I like this shot. Good lighting and colors.

Awesome. Looks like the cover on a CD! Great job.

The burn out on the shirt detracts from a nice capture, maybe slightly more tightly cropped? I do like the background, though.

A little glare off his left shoulder, but a really well done image -- 6 --

I really love this portrait. The background hole in the wall is a bit distracting but the graffiti on the wall gives it personality. I wonder how this would look if you had moved him away from the hole and just used the wood as a background?

I'm digging on the setup/backdrop/hat/belt combo. There are things that could be improved but I won't nitpick to death.

Great shot.

Nice image. I think it could have been improved by havng the background in slightly less sharp focus.

Nice shot, it would help to have a solid background.

Nicely done. Handsome young man. I really like the background. The only thing...the white is a little blown out on the right. 9
