[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is my first try at a portrait here on Treklens.
Originally I thought of posting it in black and white but after I was finished working it on Photoshop I chose do post it in color.

I want to thank my friend (Weasel) for his cooperation.
Thanks my man I hope your woman likes it

Hi Joe!
I love the PP work on this. :)
The only distracting element is the door(??) in the background that can be seen through the gap between his forearm and shoulder.
Good job overall :)
TFS,
Cheers!

hi joe!
very good portrait!
and the softness is great!!
TFS

as the first try it's a very good try....
I agree with Ashish about the door....
without it the passage from the down heavy part of the image to high light part was more graduate (imho)... but the general impression is very good...

Very nice and creative, Joe! Sounds funny, but the shirt he's wearing helps a lot here. Your PP work is great. TFS!

Very good first portrait, Joe, and I hope we will see more from you. Very natural pose and a gorgeous smile with clear sharpness on the eyes (almost can see a twinkle in them). Interesting treatment of his face slowly disparearing as we go up like he is fading away from our memories. Well done!

Hi Joe,
everything is said before ...
Nice portrait, indeed.
You started with a nice and attractive model.
I like the BRIGHT!
