This screamed emotion to me during the challenge. I'm glad it was in the top 10%. It deserved it. |

This was one of my 10s. Truly a fine, fine portrait - his character shines through, and that has a lot to do with how you saw him, not just how the camera saw him. |

Back for comment and bump. Great job on the lighting to bring out the features on his face; he looks like quite the character. I like the crop and how it complements his narrow face. |

Very good detail in his face, could use just a tad more DOF so his nose is in focus too. |

This is a lovely portrait in every way that matters. I am particularly taken by the excellent use of DOF to bring the face up from the neck, the clothes, and even the ears. There's a sense of abstracting or isolating the face/expression as if he is in the process of working free of his body and becoming wholly spirit at the end. Well done :-) |

This is a great character portrait. I really love images like this one and I shoot a lot of them myself. The image tells me things about your subject and also makes me want to know more. This type of work is so much more powerful than a typical studio portrait... nice job :) |

By far, the best portrait I've seen in a long time. I especially like the lighting and choice of lens to catch an intimate view of Warren and a glimpse of his personality. I will be disappointed if this doesn't ribbon. |
