This is my first true shot at a portrait. Of course I think it is pretty good but don't have much experience. Please give cc. Thanks.

There isn't nearly enough contrast in this picture. His hair fades into the background, it's pretty hard to tell where it ends and the background begins. His face isn't in the center, so the framing makes his ear too prominent. The whole thing is cropped too close to the face. There are annoying shadows in many places.

I'm sorry if all that seems harsh, but I'm afraid it's just not a very good portrait. If portraiture is something you want to be developing, there are many web sites that could give you pointers.

Critique is supposed to be honest. I appreciate the thoughts!

A bit dark is my first thought, and no "catch lights" in the eyes.
