Interesting..Did you add grain/noise?

YOU CLIPPED HIS HAIR!!! A 600mm lens and you can't keep it steady enough to properly frame his face?!

Kidding aside, nice image. I do wish you didn't clip his hair, but eh, sh** happens. I'll echo the above sentiment, did you add the grain? Make's it feel old-english or something, when combined with his beard and that green color (in my eyes, at least).

The magnification of OOF background elements 600 mm delivers makes them look blurrier than they really are, and really pumps up the apparent DoF.

I can't find it but Adorama has a video on YouTube of shooting some portraits with an 800 mm prime lens. Adorama - YouTube
