Wow ... a very interesting and powerful portrait. You nailed it. My only nit is to center the photo on the nose.

Normally I would agree with you, but in this case I think it actually works. Just looking at this image I feel like I'm getting my ass kicked.

This is so wonderful portrait being captured. Perfect.

He needs to go back to his barber and complain, I see a hair on his right that is sticking out and two over his left ear.
.......... in other words, sharp as a pin!
I ain't pickin' no fights with him!

Thanks. Senior pics. This was the first photo I have post edited in months, alienskin Exposure X2. I did a big crop, lots of healing for acne. I did consider the center point nose but I thought the look in his eyes made it work better than the 3rd's eye placement. I once did an oil portrait in this manner. Chuck Close used to do this all the time in get the subject in your face. It was by design.

Thanks John. He really has a lot of feminine characteristics and is a sweet, kind, young man. He is the first senior I have ever known to try out for football as a senior and make the team. He is a super young man, bright.

Thank you

Thanks Pops, yeah, that fujifilm xf50-140 is a winner. I took 140 images between the girl (his cousin) and this young man (senior pics) and only had to bin two. Very little post work other than his acne and brighten their teeth, along with slight crops. I used the little XT2 fill flash and a reflector. I also did a couple has flash shots (off camera) as well that turned out well. I'm just giving them all the shots on a thumb drive so they can get them printed or the ones they want to anyway.

Thanks bud. A blind squirrel finds a nut eventually. Lol.

I used the face / eye detection on my XT2 for the first time. I did Raw+Fine and was shocked how well it was working, so I used it the entire shoot. What a camera!
