Photo "The Smoker"

another strong image, better because of the eyes and their catchlights. Perhaps a tad more DOF to get the shoulders in focus? Might just be my personal preference. Still.. I think it`s wonderful!

That`s a very good portait but I am afraid it is a bit stiff for a portait, and the smoker seems to be posing. I think if you even ask people to pose for you, it shouldn`t be so obvious. Gradations of grays and the shades are excellent. The picture is good:

Inspirational/Masterpiece! (5 points)
Very Good/Excellent (4.5 )
Good (4)
Average/Not bad (3.5)
Mediocre/Weak (3)
Very weak (2)
