Hello, from the Critique Club!!
I wanted to take a moment to go over your image. The first thing that hits me about the image is the strength in the face. Though the darktones are nice, the side of the face obscured by the shadow takes away from that strength. There is so much detail, why not really build your composition around that.
I think another thing that might help the image along is the composition or crop. Ther is too much room on either side of the face, and not really enough at the top and bottome of the frame. I think that opening up the frame at the top and bottom might allow more light around the face. You could also trry cropping out the dark side of the frame to focus more on the side of the face that is lit.
All in all, your subject is very interesting. Lots of contrast and strength, just needed a better composition and slightly better lighting on the darker side of the face. Thank you for making the effort, and your submitting the photo already shows that you have a certain amount of pride in your shot. Keep it up!!

| what a shame it cold have been a great picture, but for some reason it just looks like a quick snap shot ... should have been more in focus and perhaps less noise in the background .... also it's rather dark |

| Good, but the picture is too dark for my taste. Maybe a zoom on his face would have enhanced the picture. 6 |

| Would be better if there were more light. More than half the face is hidden by shadows. |

| Very strong image. I wish there was a little more light in the area of his eyes on the side of his face with the lighting on it, but its a nice image anyway. Good luck. |

| great expression, but the left side of the face is WaY to dark there are no visable details. There is also a lot of grain in this shot |

| great composition, great face, but the blacks are so blocked up there is detail in less then 1/4 of the image. |

| you photographed a very unique subject, but there's a little too much shadow. i would have liked to see the eyes. perhaps more lighting would have also brought out the wrinkles in the skin to give more character to your subject. |

| interesting face... the slight but present glint in the right eye adds much to this shot. |

| it seems a bit too dark to me. i understand that is the point, but it just seems like it should have been just a bit lighter to add just that hint of detail in the dark. |
