What a great name for it!!

amazing texture, there is so much depth without the cheesy over sharpened look, i dont know how you did it but i am speechless.and such an amazing subject too!

I REALLY like this photo. Most often, when a person's looking directly into the lens, you get a sense that they're trying to tell you something...or they're trying to make you feel a certain way... This photo...tells more than a thousand words. He could be telling me anything...he could be trying to get me to feel an infinite amount of emotions...But most important, I can't really decide what he's trying to tell me...or how he's trying to make me feel...that said, it's like he's peering into my soul...and for that, I say bravo for capturing this on film. The shot is crisp, the bokeh is great, but not intrusive, and I hope you win!Check out my pics if you get the chance...I've never taken a photography class or anything, and I'm really looking for constructive comments! Thanks! -Mike

This is a really great image and deserves to be in the top 5, but really, is this necessary? http//theshotspot.com/profile/view/1488

I can't get over how much this reminds me of the portrait that hangs in our living room. You can see it in my Christmas Tree image at http//www.theshotspot.com/photos/view/20685

very nice george... it's beautiful.

What a great face. You did a great job of letting the face tell the story and not messing with it.

this one is the winner for me! great picture!

The best portrait photo I've seen on this site...by far. Wonderful. These are the emotional and beautifully lit photos that I hope to take one day.
