Hi
I look forward to your comments to improve the way I capture potraits. I clicked in RAW format and processed the attached photo in lightroom.

Look forward to your comments

ƒ / 5.6 and ISO 1600. It was a cloudy evening and insufficient light. When i zoom'd the image, i could see noise. Not sure how to eliminate that.

Look forward to the feedback.

Cheers,

I think the composition would be better if you moved the subject more to the left. It seems a little unbalanced as it is, especially with him looking off to the right. About the noise, you could have used a wider aperture (not sure what kind of lens you have, but using f2.8 for example would bring in a lot more light). The other option when lighting isn't great outdoors is to use an external flash to fill and a reflector to control where it hits. Hope that helps!
