Wow. The texture you've got here is amazing... and the tight crop works well too. A really engaging shot. I love it! Thanks for sharing.

Ha ha.. I love that shot.. Lots of humour..

Since this is in the critique section I'm struggling to find what you want critiqued.. The only thing I can say is that perhaps you've got too much texture in his skin and everything's got pretty much the same texture and shading.. It's not really a problem, I just wonder what the photo would be like if the lighting was slightly different to throw stronger shadows on his face.

A nice amusing picture that made me smile.

Ha ha! What a great shot. As I scrolled down I thought "what nice wise eyes", then I saw the rest of the face, gave me a chuckle!

Thanks very much. Yes I agree about the texture. But at the time I wanted to create a "newsy" shot so possibly over sharpened a little too much. Glad you like it though!

Sorry ... but I don't quite understand that. If you are referring to exif info then that is contained in the Flickr image which you recommend us to link to. Please advise if further requirements are necessary.

it also states that you need to ask something specific. "specific questions (What do you think? is not a specific question). A meaningful title, NOT "Critique Please",
