beautiful portrait .. interesting composition. I think, YES .. a bit of darkening to the face would have been great. It's wonderful as it is though. regards, ned
I do like the off-center composition, and the simple frame. The man looks full of character too, but like Luke, I think the focus would be better on the face/eyes rather than the shirt (as nice as it is!).
i think his face is a bit blurred, Kimmy. from here i see a shirt that is tack sharp with slightly out of focused eyes and face. i think the details in this weathered face might be lost if you darken it some.
