| Very good work with the exposure here to get detail in the tux and the hat against a black background, and still have the white tie not look blown. About the only "eh" is I don't like the cigar in his mouth. Maybe had he held it in his hand instead? |

Greetings from the CC. I am not sure why this shot did not do better, I really like the balck and white and the tones, the textures from his dreads to the 'shiny' tie. I think the black bckgrnd works really well here too. I think what may have added an 'aire of character' and maybe age it a bit is if the cigar was lit. (tho subject looks young to be smoking) I really think this is a great portrait. This guy is totally cool. Could almost be high fashion. I would be curious as to what you used for lighting. I really like the angle of the subject too.
Hopefully this is not insulting comment, but I have travelled to africa a lot and it is much harder to get a correct exposure on black/ dark skinned people. (also harder on very fair skinned folks) I think you did a great job with the exposure. Especially with the dark suit and white tie thrown in. |

| I think this deserved better. I gave it an 8. |

| Probably. We can't see clearly - it merges too much with the background. |

| I like this because it's unexpected on this site. Besides, it's really well done. It's crisp, clean, expressive, nice tones and well composed. If I were going to nitpick; I guess I'd say something about the tip of ear sticking out at left and the glare around eyes (which I only notice because everything else is so smooth).I'm impressed with how you have not lost the dark hair and outfit in the black background. Excellent photo! |

| Good separaton of dark background against the suit. If you used Neat Image you got just the right amount. Good capture. |

| It doesn't look like the focus is dead on the eyes. Nice swagger and attitude. Not sure about the cigar ... it cast an ugly shadow. |
