I feel that portraits are one of my weaker areas and any crits or comments would be welcomed

Hi Ron, I like this portrait, it is strong on the forground face, I like the way you have cropped him on the left hand side. . Great expression and detail. I like your background as it is blurry enough to keep the focus on the front face, yet adds to his image in that they all look the same way. What do they look at? An image that gives you something to think about is always good. My single comment is that '3' often works in an image (triangle thing?. The 3 things that grab my attention are 1 - forground face 2 and 3, the two guys in 'grey' shirts behind). I think that if you had cropped the right hand side of the image, excluding the hand and the white shirt, your image may look a little stronger? Cheers, Karey

hi Ron,
what I like about it is the way Eddie is well in focus but despite the soft background you still managed to convey interesting expression from the blurry faces there ;-)

Well done.
best regards, Daniel

Greenie later :)

Hi Ron,
I think this composition works really well. It gives the impression of a great man surrounded by acolytes who are too much in awe to come any closer! Very good sharpness and detail and I like the catchlights in his eyes.
Regards,
John
