For this image I used a Canon 1D MkIV plus a Nikkor 135 f2 MF @ f2.
Comments and critique welcomed..

Wonderfully sharp eyes as far as I can tell. Nice exposure. Great composition. His expression! Hehehehe.. Is it like, "not another photo!". Well done as far as I am concerned. I wouldn't change a thing.

I like the eye sharpness and casual pose and expression here!
I'm sometimes a sticker for cutting (cropping) through fingers, wrists on the vertical, etc, but because this pose is so casual, it's only bugging me a little bit.

Hope that helps - Marko

I understand what you are saying, don't 100% agree but accept in principle cropping in such a way is not the best but I think here using the arm to frame the face has worked IMO....thanks for taking the time to comment..

Fer sure - feel free to disagree anytime, no worries at all.

For me, I find that when I'm not sure, I just look at the particular part of the image that bugs me to see if it could hold up on its own.
In this case, I find that when I stare at the cropped fingers and arm, it just looks 'off'....though not so off that i dislike the image. I still like it as previously mentioned.

best! - Marko

We all see things a little differently, thank God, and that a good thing but again I do see where you coming from and take the critique as positive and worthwhile and to learn from... cheers
