One could only hope that's what "The Donald" would be thinking if he were to get a glimpse of this young man. :D It was "Business Day Dress-Up" at my son's middle school last week and of course I couldn't pass on the opportunity.

(C&C always encouraged)

    I like this a lot! The look and the clothes are spot on. Look s a bit blown out on his left cheek/side of face, but might be my computer. NICE JOB

    I love the background on this but I do agree that his left side looks a little blown out. Half his face has freckles and the other half doesn't.

    Good looking you man....

    I'm not a big fan of the crop as I would have preferred to have space over his head but that's just me.
    On my monitor, his face does not appear to be blown but perhaps over processed?
    I see there is some type of artificial blur, perhaps vignette blur?
    And that is what might be smoothing his face on his left side or perhaps you shot at an extremely wide aperture?
    Either way, tis a nice portrait of a sharp dressed young man :-)

    Thanks Yall. :D Let's try this one. Better? In respects to the artificial bokeh...I was semi-trying a "tilt-shift" approach just for the helluvit. :D

    Love both of 'em (although I'm possibly leaning towards preferring the first one, before revisions). Great shot - absolutely love his eyes thumb.gif What IS that green bg?!

    Thanks for the compliments, DM. It's a small Art Gallery/Cafe on the way to his school. Walls are bright green stucco. It's on my short list from now on. :D

    What an AWESOME photo! Your "little" man is quite a handsome little guy, gotta say iloveyou.gif I love the pose, his look, the wall, it all comes together so perfectly!

    The only thing I would mention would be the blown cheek also (just missing the freckles on the other side :D) But I bet you could fix that ... somehow ...)

    LOVE IT! clap.gif
