Critique Club Review:
Nice Picture!
Color N/A Saturation N/A Brightness Very Good Contrast Very Good. Lighting Very Good Focus Excellent Depth of Field Good. (Just a bit of softness on his right shoulder.)
This is a timeless picture. Could have been yesterday or 20 years ago. The cigarette is a little bit distracting. It takes a moment to realize the smoke is curling down. At first I was wondering if it was lit. Which means that I had been pulled away from the main subject. It almost looks like it was barely in his mouth, judging by the lenght of the exposed filter. A bit later in the smoke, with more smoke, or as he was lighting up could have made this picture stronger. Or no cigarette at all, for that matter. I could also visualize this photo in sepia or with an old photo effect.
Over all a strong photo. One where you feel like you get a sense of a little bit about who the subject is, which I really like in a photo.
Congratulations on making the top 25, it is well earned.

| It's a good portait, I like it a lot. I see a little less detail on the face than on the hat, but they are a more or less on the same plane, I would fix this whith a little USM. |

| Great character. Love the smile and eye wrinkles. Feel like I missed out because I couldn't see his eyes, but the glasses also add a different dimension to the photo. Like the white contrast of the cigarette |

| I like the blurred out bg. I wish his face wasn't soft (non-sharp). Seems like the focal point is off just a tad. |

| I have been deducting points for a too clean hat, but not in this case, I am somehow convinced. You did well. |
