    Re: Concentration

    I think its quite good, Phil. the lighting is moody and shapes the features of the face nicely. Good tight composition with space in front of his gaze as well as under the chin. even some catch light in the eyes. Looks good, fine work

    thanks Gary...
    I just recently acquired a 50mm F/1.4 ... tested out on my son using a strobe.
    no PP here straight from the cam.

    Re: Concentration

    I really like this one, too, but move your logo somewhere else as that's what appears to be the object of concentration.

    A fine portrait indeed! This one would also look stunning in B&W but then you'd have a really hard time choosing which version you like best!

    Excellent lighting. Smart composition. Incredible sharpness. And congrats for not overdoing anything.

    I like the way your kid poses so still.

    Congrats on the sticky!
