I like the capture. I think the crop is too close to his face. For me it's too confining.

Interesting. At least you are buying him coffee and not Richard's or MD.

MD as in MD 20/20? A real crowd pleaser in my teen age years.

Really insightful and emotive shot.

Ditto here. I think the image could be improved by more space in the direction he is looking.
IMHO

This is good . . .

Scott's assessment was well taken, Since there was no spare room on the right, I cropped from the left so that at least the open space was more proportional, Also the cropping moved his right eye to left, Did anyone also notice the unsettling "Center Target Effect" with his right eye? I freely admit not noticing untill after my post. Thanks to all for taking the time to post thoughtfull and constructive input. Leroy Allen Skalstad "Formerly Homeless"
