Thanks Dave. His name is Eugene and this week I ran a series of images on him. His hands holding an orange was my submission for 'Orange' over a year ago.

Excellent portrait!!! Wish there was just a tiny bit more light on his lips... The hand is gorgeous.

I am fascinated with the expression, wonderful portrait.

AbsolutelyN said 363 days ago:

Very nice image - composition is different and works very well. Tones of the skin are amazing and the highlights really set it off. Excellent.

The negative space on the right distracts from what should be a very intimate portrait

And I didn't even get a chance to rate it but you already know how much I love this image - Congrats.

I just have to jump in here to disagree with zorilla. The negative space on the right is what makes everything else jump out. Without it, your eye would be left wandering all around. With it, you naturally zoom right in on Eugene and you linger there exploring all the pores of his face, the nooks and crannies of his fingers, the twinkle of his eyes and those wonderful salt and pepper eye brows. I'd be thrilled to be on either side of the camera for this shot.
