Nice lighting for a portrait. Could be improved, I think, with a shallower depth of field to blur the background more. I'm distracted by what's going on there, and there's enough going on in the foreground to keep me interested.

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: This is a rather pristine piece of work, it's difficult to take much fault with it - the angles and the composition serve the image very well.

Critical stuff: I am vehemently anti-smoking, I hate looking at images which show someone smoking - I know I'm not the only one. The lighting is very subtle, perhaps a little so subtle - I feel the image has been robbed a little of vibrancy and contrast. The more I look at it, the more I want to nudge the field of view to the left, giving some more space behind him and a little less to the right of the glass.

Overall: Completely competent and well made but the smoking motif alienates me as a viewer.
