Hi John a solid portrait , well done in the field .
You are quite brave , looking at your techs .... i personally think it does not work , image does look crunchy and hefty in contrast . Previous posting did look better in terms of contrast .

Hello John,

Pose is very nice here and I quite like the head angle because it gives the subject a "cheeky" look.

Darks a bit heavy I agree, you could also try get more detail in the eye if you like. I would crop just a tad from the top.

Lighting conditions certainly not on your side but good effort from you out there in the field and having a steady hand helps:w3

Thank you for sharing, have a great rest of the week,

Kind regards,
