i AM hesitation after all.

a very intriguing stare he has. i am forced to lock into his eyes in this pic and it is very intense. makes you wonder what hes thinking.

i really like this
if i knew anything about anything i might be able to support my liking it with some intelligent thoughts of some sort... but yeah, i only know so much as to what i like and what i don't..and this, this i like
i think it's the hands..and the eyes.. just working so well so far as i can tell

Are those freckles I see? Nice touch lighting his right eye, but leaving the rest in shadow.

I like the direct eye contact. It sort of grabs you from the get-go. Nice - unsual - pose with the hands adds character. The lighthing seems very balanced and the tones are pleasing. What's not to like.

What a look!
You captured a great attitude with a good lighting and composition.
It definitely deserve to stand alone, very nice portrait

CreativeFire [2005-04-02 10:37:38 +0000 UTC]

lovely portrait shot! I really like the composition - with the eyes and the inclusion of the hands - also good lighting with a capture of a rather intense sort of look

blindfive [2005-04-02 00:50:44 +0000 UTC]

Terrific lighting Hes...

I think your focus is a little short, but the tonal range and contrast is spot on

Good job

I love how his fingers are kind of following the curve of his mouth - you don't know if he's giving you a little devious grin or if his fingers are just pushing against his skin to make it look that way. Mystery. Good thing.

And yes, definitely better by itself.

cweeks [2005-03-31 20:27:32 +0000 UTC]

very well done. very very difficult to include hands in a portrait ... and ... again ... very well done! nice neutral and out of focus background so as to not distract from the subject.

yes, well done.

This is one of the best portraits I've seen in a while. I love the shadowing and how the eye still stands out... You've captured a perfect expression, and somehow, you've kept an otherwise serious and intense feel captivating and charming, instead.

Hey mais c'est moi!

I must admit I'm always very nervous when it comes to seeing portraits of me, which doesn't happen too often anyways. But I'm very happy with that one. I like it a lot.
I guess I've found what to put in a big frame for my mum!
