Another brilliant image Rob, you seem to be able to capture the soul of your subjects really well and the post processing only brings it out more so.
Ps, I need some cool glasses like his

Nicely caught expression and pose Rob. Particularly like the "over the spectacles" look but perhaps just a little more detail in the BG would be better - IMHO.

Lovely capture Rob!

Hi Rob, super expression ! My only suggestion would be cropping 1/3 of the space between the chin and the bottom frame. IMO because the head is cropped from top , too much space in the neck area gives a kind of unbalanced feeling. BTW I like the story

Nicely done.

I agree, well done!!!!

What i really like is how only his face is illuminated. And his expression. Tolerating - "Are you done, yet?"

Your B&W treatment is spot-on.

Nice shot Rob!

Another interesting composition Rob, and one that has me thinking (again).

The shot and expression of Victor is great, and the balance of roughly equal dark space to camera right position adds interesting asymmetrical balance to the image. I think this works, but wonder if it might have worked better had he been looking in the other direction; i.e. the dark is camera right, and he is glancing straight ahead and slightly camera left.

As for execution, the glasses are placed perfectly, as they do not cut the eyes. I also find the dilated pupils interesting as I would have expected them to be smaller, looking into the light (it looks like he just got back from the optometrist, after an eye examination).

Again, thank you for making me think about my own work.

Nicely done.
