Here is a shot from a recent shoot I did for a friend to present to her husband as a fathers day gift.
I'm very interested in objective critiques and tips for improvement.

I'm not expert in portraiture but the shot looks good

The cutoff arm is distracting.... I might have framed it to include it's whole...

I don't know if this bothers anyone else...

I must agree, I don't mind crops that are not standard but for this one I think the both of them in the frame would work a bit better. The only other issue would be the skin tone seems off just a bit. Outside those two minor issues it is well done, I like the pose, the Bokeh of the background.

Thanks,
thats actually a tight crop the image is backed out quite a bit.
the customers big complaint on this one was the double chin which was a direct result of the poor pose and up angle. my bad
