Nice pic, great model, I would like to see a square crop on this even at
the risk of clipping the edge of his beard, I like the tones in it too and
the angle of the head in the frame, something different….nice!

Very nice, reckon this would look great printed. Lovely contrast

Thanks Jenny and Martin for taking the time to comment. When I get some time I’ll have a look at the crop again. I feel that a square crop might improve it alright, I felt like he was falling out of the frame a bit here. Anyway, nice to get some feedback, when you’re starting out.. Thanks again.

Great shot, well done. love the post processing, I think the crop is great as it is.. i like the lines down the left of the frame and the detail of the cross around his neck..

This cropping seems perfectly fine, love your BW conversion, lots of detail and good sharpness. Great work!
