Hi Anthony,

Incredible detail clearly focused on your subject's face.
Good decision to sepia and nice vignetting effect.

TFS,
Andrew

See lots of portraits and hmmmm many are the same. However here I see something just that bit more special, not just a bland shot but one with movement because of the smoke. Mind you these days I suppose its rather frowned on to promote smoking. Never the less an outstanding image

A stunning portrait. Congratulations.
Just one small comment : the cigarette contrasts too much with the man's skin it seems it has been added afterwards.

Hi Anthony,
Impressive shot ! The focus is excellent and the sharpness let us see much details of the skin.
Your treatment in sepia makes the picture look like an old photo.
Excellent!

Delphine

A great picture with a great work. I like the tone of the texture of the skin and the sepia feeling given. It looks like a picture from 1930-40.
Very well done,
Jean-Claude
