| A nice shot but a classic error made. If you worked for a portrait studio you would have gotten in trouble for the finger covering the mouth. The pose is good, just need to brign the hand down so the mouth isn't covered. Also the lighting seems just a bit dull overall. I do like the intense expression in his eyes though. Nice capture. Started at a 5, moving to a 6 |

Lighting: Not enough light for good contrast. The eyes need a catchlight to be more expressive.
Pose: works fine.
Background: works. |

Very nicely composed/posed and framed. Your lighting gives a nice sense of depth, but is a little dull. Colors also are a bit dull. Crop wise, I am a tad bit distracted by the watch dial being cut off at the bottom. Also I would have cloned out the tops of the letters on his shirt. Nice job overall!

Edited to add: Could definately benefit from catch light in his eyes. |

| The colors are too cold in this portrait, it might be a little lighter also. |

| Eyes look just a little unreal on this monitor, Pose and title are perfect together. |

| Composition and exposure are good, but lighting appears flat. Without a compelling expression on the subject, dramatic lighting is almost a necessity to create interest. Either one or both would probably boost your score dramatically. BTW- I think I have the same watch. ;-) |

| Lighting is quite flat - really needs some life/light in his eyes to create some catchlights - it would really lift the whole feel |

| The pose and most of the technical aspects of this photo are fine, however, I find the lighting to be a bit flat and dim on my monitor. I would have liked to see a bit more brightness in the face, possibly the catchlights in the eyes. I understand that with glasses, that is extremely difficult to pull off effectively. It is nice as it stands, but could be better with some lighting adjustment. Good effort. :o) |

| Are those eyes for real? They have a strange blue color. |

| Interesting idea. A thoughtful pose. I'm sure you've heard this, but I would like a little better lighting. Composition is nice, watch is a bit annoying. |

| Looks a little underexposed and maybe a blue cast to it. His eye color isn't realistic. I like the pose, but maybe without the watch. Glasses are great. |

| Lighting is very "flat looking" - it doesn't allow any sparkle in the eyes. Good model 0 nice colors and pose. |

| Excellent lighting control (or removable lenses?) to shoot through the glasses with no reflections. I guess the "cold" lighting scheme suits the subject matter, but seems a little unusual for a portrait. |

| Good pose, but the lighting and white balance seem off. |

| Lighting on his face is dynamic and well done but.... the eyes are way over-saturated. Photo is a bit flat also... a bright colored background would have went better with his skin tone. |

| The colors seem just a little flat. a bit more contrast and it appears to be a little on the cool side of the WB spectrum. Maybe a touch more light up into the eyes to eliminate the (very) slight shadow. |

| Lighting is a little flat. Good pose, but I don't like the hand in front of the mouth. Perhaps, just on his chin might have worked better. Also, try shining a light on the BG to make it blow out a little more, and help your subject stand out more. |

| Color too pale or blue-ish, or white balance isn't quite right. |

| This image is clear, but the light is dark and flat. Too bad, since the model seems to have nice blue eyes (that seem to have been PS'ed in...?) |

| Very nice study but the different color between hands and face is distracting. |

| I'm only bothered by the partial watch and text on the shirt. It's good work and I hope you do well in the challenge.8~ |

| Background seems a bit dull. Maybe the use of a fill flash might also have helped. |
