...and one of your best performance here...maybe the best (and definitely not because my face is there!!)

I'm afraid u'll not get many points for that anyway... :)))

stay well

Hello Marco,
The composition is well. The light is perhaps a little too intense on the top. Picture very natural and succeeded. Beautiful touching note which accompanies it. Bravo. Thanks

Hi Marco,
he is "marcocig", surely he has a look of fearless determination, my impression. and your pc edition is interesting and must be captured his characteristic well. I like his eyes and your expression is excellent about his eyes, this is the most important part of his portrait.
then his skin head is cubic but his mouth and chin looks relatively flat...perhaps the shadow may be a little pale and weak.
total colors are nice tone and fit his feature.
thank you for your best friend's handsome portrait.

Nice portrait of Marco, I like his expression but I don't like the frame at all. Not sure of the sepia either ... imho !

HiMarco,
A very special but also nice way to portrait your friend. It's a kind of an artistisc impression, presented with great skill. One remark, the OE on top of his head is a bit OE (shining) pity and can easily "removed". Anyway a superb posting my friend!

He does look very tired, Marco. Probably too tired to stop you from taking his portrait ;o).
Nice work on the presentation. But whatever tricks you play on toning etc, it's still your friend's face that makes the shot IMO.
Well done.

Much personality in the image. And good post processing effects. He must be a photographer also with a camera strap around his neck? Well done.

Hi Marco,
I like much this excellent portrait of your friend! You captured a special expression, here. A dubitative eye-catching! And the "italian design" in your presentation is appropriated and well supported by the sepia tones! Bravo! Annie

Very nice and intense portrait. You should feel lucky to have such a wonderful friend.

I like the colors here and especially the BG you've done. Nice poster look. Well done.

Hi Marco,
Very moody portrait of your tired friend - but it probably gives him even more caracter then he already has, so nothing to complain here - however if you would have tried making a portrait of a very tired lady-friend, then you would have been sure to loose a precious friendschip -:)
The framing is totally in caracter with the picture.
Great artistic work.

Precioso trabajo!

Bon giorno, Marco - Your friend looks cool, especially in this fine portrait you took of him. I can see a smile not far behind his tired (or questioning) look. I do like your experiments with sepia and framing. At the same time I am wondering how it would look just simply in B&W?! May both of you enjoy a long-lasting friendship! - TFS! Cordelia :)))
PS: Molto grazie for your critique on my lotus image 'Symbol of purity'. I am glad you like it!

Ciao Marco,

Your have introduced a new idea of composition here which is looking marvellous. Assorted saturation points in a same portrait is adding an immense charm of vision in addition to fine details and good light control. Excellent picture has been taken my friend, well done.

Thanks for sharing this image.

Yes you did something great for the tones. It's that tonality who bring me here. I don't regret my click to satisfy my curiosity :)
Funny to see how the strap of the camera look as a collar with style. It's not at first second i realized what is it :) That orange tonality fit well the frame you create around!
