This is such a beautiful picture. I'm really in love with it. 

Honestly. 

The crisp contrast between his face and the background just blows my mind. It really lends to the realism of the picture because it draws your eye to every detail of Aidan's face.

And my goodness you've put a lot of detail here! His eyes, first and foremost, and just piercing. Ugh, they're beautiful and so expressive. You've captured a myriad of emotions here, just in his eyes. I see a softness (a gentleness if you will) but then a determination as well. And how you manage to capture that in a picture...talent my dear. You have so much talent. 

And then his face? Ugh his face is gorgeous. Genetics are just nice. But you've done a marvelous job capturing those features: his strong brows (with the finely detailed shape and hair!), the elegant slope of his nose, the curves of his cheeks, the quirk in his lips (the definition there is amazing), even down to the stubble on his chin! It's so fine and tailored and delicately done. I'm just amazed. 

You really do brilliant work.

This is awesome. On my Twitter it was right under a picture of Luke Garroway and you could tell from the eyes who it was, I didn't even have to look at the beard. Very nice work!
