I'm really trying to hone my portrait and people shot skills. Can I get critique and comment on this one:

Matt. The composition, lighting and subject matter are great in this one. It has a lovely natural feel that makes the image a strong one. Only niggle is every time I look at the shot I feel he's looking over my left shoulder rather than straight at me which would make for a more powerful image.

Agreed Peter, it annoys me too. I was hoping to get away with it though. :)

I really like this one. I am drawn to his eyes and I think you have nailed the depth of field. Nice bright colours too. What was the exif on this?

His eyes are amazing aren't they.
50mm at f/2, 1/250, focused on the eyes.
