The background in black and white was so natural as part of this piece. I didn't even notice it until someone else mentioned it. Overall I like the lighting, but I wish the hood was pulled back a little so that there isn't so much shadow over his eye and I could see for sure the color.

Anyway, nice shot. Good cropping. And, as someone else said, I love the freckles.

I didn't comment on your work before (I think), but I do like it a lot, in this one I just wanted to say that I would like the background had a few more of definition... of course, I am no one to tell you anything (and of course I mean no one as photographer )

Great capture! The blending of the color and b&w really makes it stand out. Great framing of the shot.

.
i love how you put side by side - a portrait of frozen winter and an image of a living being.
his coloring dramatically contrasts with winter's pale white/gray.

good job!

peace.

ah, ok. I'm finally done with the gallery. Here's the latest one. Wow. It feels weird to have seen them all. I've enjoyed the meandering through your gallery. So, this portrait...It really has an almost nostalgic feel...like walking past a flashback. I dunno...
