Lensbaby Muse (Senior Portrait)

...

nice and clean, good use of space.

Did you use Focal Point 2 software here? Or just blur in pp?

There's a lot of green in this image. IMHO It could use a little warming up in the skin tones...

I agree, the white balance seems to be off. The model also appears to be stiff, I would have had him try to loosely cross his arms and lean more against the tree to look a little more relaxed.

Don't fall for the old "the client loved them so they are beautiful" stuff. ALL male clients love their images, especially when they are cheap and most males would rather have a rectal exam, get a root canal and get an injection in the buttocks all in the same day rather than having to be subjected to a portrait session.

If you want to get better, listen to knowledgable photographers. If you want to stagnate, listen to your clients.

As it has been mentioned, the white balance is off. There's a greenish cast on the subject's face - most noticeable on his neck.

Interesting shot. Feels a tad flat to me, and lose the paprus. Try something a little cleaner or simple.
