Hi ben,
I googled mr schoeller, and i must say you did succeed to capture the emotion/expression like he does! nice !
The problem with the pic tho imo is that it lacks sharpness (due to resizing?) , lightning ain't that good, and the photoshopping is quite obvious around the hair etc...
A little better photoshopping could've bumped up the score i think.
greetings |

| While the close up photo works, I think an important thing missing here are the super lit, very sharp over exaggerated eyes that come across in his portraits. But I can see the inspiration. |

| Schoeller's portraits are tightly cropped even though expressions are stark and empty. I think for this image to be as powerful, first, sharp focus needs to be present. It's lacking in that area. A tighter crop would be good as well. Lastly, Schoeller's eyes are very sharp. I think this needs it as well. Great try though/ |

| You captured "the look" that Schoeller seems to get, but need better light to reflect the eyes. |

| Crop is a little off and I would have done something about the background as his series of close-ups tended to do. |

| I would have liked to see a little more light in the yes in true MS fashion. Aside, this is a great tribute. |

| should have cropped vertically. Great blank stare. Looks like you need just a tad more DOF for focus. |

| Composition is similar to Schoeller's although not portrait which is more common. Plain face with lots of character works well and in style. Missing catch lights I see in the eyes of Schoeller's work. Focus and sharpness is a little off. All this sounds negative ... and I don't mean it to. It is among my top picks in spite of the critique. |
