Taking a class online and had an assignment to take someone's portrait, What do you guys think of this one?

The lighting is really wonderful. But I'm just a little curious as to why he's leaning forward. I would pose him a little differently, or show more of his arms.

A good shot. The lighting is right, exposure was right, framing is pretty good, and although the pose lokks a bit awkward or unatural, the shot still works well. I think I would have cropped in closer from the left side chopping off some of his shoulder and placing hin further to the left frame away fronm center. A good shot.

The lighting is truly great and I like the pose but I wouldn't have included the curtains and the flag in the shot, I perceive them as distraction. The very same shot with your subject standing further away from the window would probably be works superbly well assuming that the light doesn't fall off too much.

To me it seems, in an attempt to lighten the dark side that some overexposed white area's which shows no detail developped on the opposite side. It is difficult to find the right balance.Photoshop is able to help. The pose I agree seems a bit awkward, but good. Focus is good and the p[ositioning might need some cropping. Great shot.
