dignity and pose displayed here

the lighting seems just a bit too bright on his face and a possible slight white balance adjustment is in order

very intense expression - I feel safe with those eyes

There is a shade on the left cheek, the face is a bit shinny. I would have added the other shoulder too. A flag as background would make it more lively.

Great clean and vibrant portrait. I am sure your model is pleased with the results. I sure would be.

I like the processing on this one. I'm not certain about the title, but I'll come back for the explanation after the challenge. :)

Great use of lighting. I've seen (and been in) a lot of these standard military portraits where the lighting is flat and uninteresting. You've done a great job of creating an engaging portrait here.

ug-rah, Devil Dog...Semper Fi

Excellent shot, darn near pefect composition. Possibly just a little more light on your left breast pocket to give it some definition. Other than that great shot. Not voting this pass but I'll be back.

I would have voted this photo much higher, except the model has a dent in his forehead. You should have taken the time to fix that. Also his pocket button is upside down. Attention to detail Marine!!

Nice portrait, may be a little too strong in the stare-down department, but hey, that's the Marines!
