This is such a great portrait!
well, I have to admit I didn't think it was too much of a "what" for me, hence I only gave it a 6, but as a portrait I think it's a wonderful one!!

Just to update.. This was not sharpened. I overlooked the fact that the resize did some jagged thing to the harp strings. Also, the man was not able to move or pose differently for this shot, it was a candid shot. Glad to get above a 5.. thanks to all :)

Interesting portrait. the exposure is off a bit. Love the red in this. It might be less busy if he were to step away from the background just a smidge. Then we could see the instrument better too.
