    Good shot. Interesting looking guy and the eye in the background is nicely strange. If it were mine, I'd try to brighten up his eyes a bit.

    Yeah I can do that in PP. I wish I had moved him to the left a tad. Thank you for your comments!

    Nice pic. I really like the background, but I agree with you that if he had been a little to the left it would improve the shot. clap.gif

    OK, so I might be in the minority here but I rather like the centeredness of this one. Sort of like the pupil in the eye. It would still be good if he were shifted, but I'm not convinced that it would be better. ne_nau.gif

    Thanks guys! Can't really say whether or not it would balance out the image or make it any better.

    Nice image... that's a face with a lot of character and experience.

    I agree with Richard, and centering here doesn't bother me for a couple of reasons - portraits are very often centered and the eye-catching (no pun intended) background lends an asymmetry to the composition.

    Thank you for letting me know that much appreciated. All the best to you in the New Year.
