    Nicely captured

    My only critique is the blown out forehead above his right eye. this is a minor nit pic.

    I like this image. He has a very strong face and his gaze is engaging and direct. I only wish that the focus was on his eyes instead of on the end of his nose. There are blown out highlights noticeable on his nose area as well but this seems secondary to me in comparison with the lack of sharp focus on the eyes. It's always nice to see your work on the board FotoWillem.

    The eyes. The eyes.
    They just seem lifeless and black and perhaps a little fill in flash might have given them a little catch light.
    I really like the "in your face" nature of the shot.

    I have a total lack of respect for anything connected with society, except that which makes the roads safer, the beer stronger, the food cheaper, and the old men and old women warmer in the winter and happier in the summer. Brendan Behan
