What a character study. Intentional or most likely not, I find the supporting "elements" interesting/amusing; America's Most Want hat, Sean John jacket, the smiley face behind him. Nice casual portrait.

Nice shot, lighting seems to work well. Something is off to me tho, might be a little soft on the face.

He's got "it". The eyes and the expression are both superb-looking. 9!

Which of his eyes is the kind one? LOL!


Wonderful portrait. I can feel his kindness, actually.
