Excellent. His face and it's beautiful expression is beautifully lit.
His left hand fingers seems a bit shadowy and the tip of his right shoulder has some "degraded" patch. But I am scraping the bottom of the barrel here.
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
Thanks for taking the time to look and comment, Tom. Agree about the fingers - too contrasty, too illustrated-looking. The patch can easily be removed.
I agree with Tom. . .Excellent. Catch lights as we discussed is my only nit. Yep, the fingers are a bit dark but they seem to work for me that way.
Love it.

I totally see it now. Gotta reduce the opacity a little. I'll probably repost the corrected version. Thanks as always, G!
Your portraiture never ceases to impress me. Not my milieu, but I always like to see your work. Especially your PP, it's excellent.

Thanks, guys. I'll try to address what I can and repost. I see other mistakes, too, which I'm not sure I know how to fix.
I wanted to know if the shot itself worked, but also if the processing worked. This kind of postwork is tricky: if you overdo it by 5%, it'll look really stupid.
Another great shoot. Love the look on his face. Dude you're getting all these famous people. At least one day I can say, hey, I know that Seth guy. lol.
How come no one mentioned the slight chop to the jazz legend's head? ;)
It doesn't bother me either. Was just wondering since that's usually the first comment I see from people.
Good stuff man

Wow, very sharp photo Dray, and very personal. Great eye contact, and the lighting is special in that it doesn't overwhelm. My only nitpick is not to clip off the top of the head like that next time, but I think you know this already (and I haven't read the other posts yet).
