I dont do a lot of portraits and I am wondering if you guys think that this portrait "works" ?? Is the crop too tight??

The eye has it

Exposure: 0.001 sec (1/1000)
Aperture: f/1.8
Focal Length: 50 mm
ISO Speed: 100

Whether or not this shot is successful depends on what you were trying to accomplish. The overall image has a very 'commercial' look to it. I can easily see this is a magazine ad. If that was what you were looking for, you have been successful.

I love the tight crop too but I'm also curious what this image will be used for, if anything? I think it'd be great for promotional uses but not so much for selling to a client.

Sorry, it doesn't work for me (no offense) the picture looks very good, it's just the cropping that makes me feel like there's something missing. I agree with the others, it would be a great commercial ad!
