Candid shot of my Brother

Here's a shot I took of my Brother with my new lens (just got it 2 days before) at my Cousins wedding.

I,d like to know if anything can be improved with regards to lighting, composition, post processing or anything thing else that you might like to suggest or add.

I would crop just a little tighter to remove the couch or something on the left. Its still competing with him in the image. The vignetting is a little too much that you can really see it too.

Great shot.

Good shot, but did you use a bit of Dodge on the centre of his face?

It just looks a little too white compared to either side of the centre... I would use a bit of dodge in photoshop on either side to make it more balanced, as for me the skin tone looks slightly unbalanced.

I like the shot apart from that though

No, No dodge used at all, maybe the exposure needed tweaking down a little, The rest is darker because I used the camera distorsion correction tool to produce some vignetting.

I tried to focus more attention in him.

I think I might re edit it and submit again.

Thanks for the comments.
