Love the eye contact here. The red of the face is a strong element. Well done.

Nice image Ric. That stare is amazing. Good exposure and details are sharp where they should be. Maybe just a little more canvas top and right. Good job.

Nice sharp image with great emotional appeal. Looks to me like he is studying you as much as you are studying him.

I really like the comp and those eyes really stand out.

Thanks, Todd.:)

I would have liked to add the extra space as you suggest...but, unfortunately, there was an undesirable element there that would have been way too much work to eliminate.

A very striking portrait and the eyes say it all. Good exposure and detail.
