I still remember how pretty and attractive this gentleman's young sister was.
I also remember quite clearly that I thought it would have been unwise to let him know!!!

    That's great, Carlo.
    You use the past tense in referring to your sister. Now my curiosity is really piqued!

    Great texture and tones. Maybe I need to see the whole chin... but maybe not. headscratch.gif

    Lovely pic - sharp as anything. I'm distracted by the blurred shape on the right though and find myself looking at it to try and figure it out rather than focusing on the cool guy. Possibly black it out?

    Neat portrait and I kind of like your shadow there on the right just hearing the little bit of a story...normally it would bother me! It sort of goes with your signature! :D

    I don't mind the reflection at all. I think this is a VERY nice capture! The eye contact is fantastic.

    You'll often see fashion shooters intentionally getting their own reflection in the eyes of models-- it's sort of a photographers signature at times. I think it creates a feeling about the roll between photographer and subject, but that's just my opinion of course.
