    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.

    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.
