About the Image(s)
I took this with my Sony 90 mm Fe 2.8 on my Sony a6400 hand held ISO 1000 f 3.5 1/1600.
I took it into Lightroom basic and then PSCC I lightened the eyes by using a layer with 50% gray as overlay and painting with white to lighten the whites of his eyes

I would sharpen his eyes a little be more and add some texture, but it is good without it Posted: 09/07/2019 18:30:20
I like the pose and the expression on the subject. For me, the color balance is off giving a blue look to the top of the image. The background is a little distracting. I would either crop some of it out or tone it down. Posted: 09/11/2019 17:52:32

Very good pose and expression, but shooting against a bright sky washes out the tones somewhat. I think flash fill would have worked here, or else spot meter on his face. Posted: 09/11/2019 23:10:04
Strong portrait. Adding some contrast to the face and remove some of the light overtones on the face may make [photo bolder. Cropping the green shirt up to the shoulder would keep the eye on the face. Very nice photo and processing. Posted: 09/13/2019 05:12:51

Great shot and what an expression. I can't tell if he is annoyed you are taking his picture or curious. I wold try to adjust the contrast a little. The image seems flat and he, as the main subject, should jump out a little more. Posted: 09/17/2019 07:40:24
