There looks as though there has been heaps of 'life' in that face - someone with stories to tell. The background blur sets of the portrait well, and the graininess adds to the overall effect.

I don't know if I would have went with the sepia tone in this one. I think black and white would have done a better job conveying the bluegrass music...but what do I know. 7

You have managed to capture not just his image but something of his personality as well. Not an easy thing to do. Well done.
