 Taken mid-afternoon during Fleet Week in NYC. Thanks to the young man who let me take his photo (well, he didn't protest, anyway). :-)

I'm very happy this did as well as it did; it's my personal best score to date. I'm glad people liked it. I don't think I've ever received more than two "10" votes before, and it's very gratifying to get more 6's than 5's! Thanks for the helpful comments.

Larry,

The expression you captured is emotive in a very unespected way. It really draws me in.

Congrats on your PB! Truly well deserved.

Look at this - your new personal best!!! I liked it - the detail and clarity on him is so excellent. That pose is interesting - pretending to not be interested hehe. Great capture of lighting too. Good job Larry and congrats on the new PB!

I think you've fallen into the trap of oversharpening this one a little - but the lighting is oddly effective. It's a pity the background is dull, it doesn't really vindicate your off-centre composition.

There's a lot in this, it's a strong, clear portrait. Maybe too much background .

I like the "air" in this photograph - it makes the portrait all the clearer.

Good portrait, with an excellent position in the frame.
I like less the line between dark and light grey in the background, crossing his head.

Very nice use of natural light - excellent exposure! He looks like Jamie Foxx (who never appeared in the TV Series "Lost"). I'll eplain later. Good luck and well done.
