Hi Chanjit,

I really like this portrait. It is not something I know how to do well yet but yours is one I would try to emulate. All the technicals look spot on. The warmth of the light spot lighting his face is excellent and actually a bit different from the status quo of even, reflected light that I normally see (or notice) in portraits. Maybe what means most to me in this image is the man's eyes. His gaze is full of emotion and the idea of a photographer appears a million miles away. For me that somehow frees the image for the viewer. This is excellent. The only thing I'm not crazy about is your choice of framing. Personally, I think it detracts from your great image but that's only a personal preference.

Cheers!
