Nice portrait, good dof to isolate the guy. My only slight cc would be to try and desat the greens/yellows just a very small amount to isolate him even more

The left side of his shirt is blown out. Aside from that the photo looks too perfectly lit if that makes sense, as if it were in a studio. 6

Great lighting, nice colors, good composition, my only nitpick is that his elbow isn't in the shot, it pulls you out of the shot, still though a nice shot and a 7 from me.

I like the peaceful setting you have for this 'ballad' on the guitar. (not voting yet)

I understand why he's looking at his fingers, cause he's playing, but I think this would have been a more powerful photo if he's eyes were seen. Beautiful colors in the background.
