Recently someone I know was browsing trough my photobucket and altough he was liking what he was seeing, he asked if I did people pictures, I said I liked it, but it was hard, he showed me a couple of his and encouraged me to try some more. Any comments and critics on this one are very welcome, as usual:clap

Hi David, long time no talk :D I quite like the composition. My first thought when I opened the shot was.. oh, no eyes .. I would loved to have seen his eyes.. for me without them it leaves me.. what.. flat I think would be the word. I think a little more detail in his face would be good too. I struggle with portraits too, can't seem to get it right.. can you reshoot with eyes.. It could be a wonderful shot..:1drink

Yeah, school keeps me busy busy!
Does this qualify as portrait training? It is a self-portrait ...:huh
Anyhow, in the original you could see the eyes behind the glasses quite clearly, would that be beter, or just no glasses?
