Morning smoke and cofee

[Orpheuss]

Hello,

I am not good at portraits, but I like the following picture for it's expression and not sure if to keep it or not, as the person it is OOF... but.... what do you think? It is completely ruined? I could apply some sharpening, did not try it but I wounder it it really helps and maybe it also destroys the feeling itself. Also, what do you think of the subject itself and about the composition?

From Semi selection

EXIF:
Nikon D5000
f5.6
speed 1/30
Focal length 200 mm

my biggest is that including the pic here on the forum is the best way for you to get more comments/critiques....

overall.. its not a great photo for me, but i do see what you are conveying here... i think its a little too dark as well as the OOF doesnt work in its favor...

keep shooting...

but, please include your exif and the photo here...

I really like the idea and expression..though it's a bit too dark for me. Maybe try lightening and contrast increase and see how it looks?

Sorry about the picture, either I was too sleepy and did a mistake or something went wrong with the import. I edited the first Post; the picture was improved with your suggestions.
Thank you for the critics

I like it. I can't offer much in the way of help, but I like the crop, and I like the idea. I says early morning to me.
