Nice image Jim, just enough light on the rhs to show the facial features. I like it.

Have you invested in your black velvet yet? The shadows seem 'smoother' in this one than some of your others (is 'smoother' the right word?!).

Cheers
Andy

Looks like it was shot in a studio, great use of natural light! :-)

The portrait is well lit and well conceived and the eyes, as in any portrait should be and are in this instance sharp. The 'softness' of the facial features are a little disconcerting in a young man with such a strong face and features.
