The detail and texture in the face is just great. Almost looks real in the thumbnail. The OOF backgound is just right, not too much, not too little.

Yes, I like it very much Collin, it has a special sadness look. Great capture. Viorel

Yes, the artist has created a sense of sadness that just permeates your photo. The chips and cuts from the chisel and the general weathering, especially on the shoulders and chest, to me symbolize a failure of the subject to achieve his goals.

This one is worth a seccond look, the artist has captured something beyond the ordinary, perhaps melancholy. In a way, the rail fence behind adds symbolism.
