Nice portrait, Darwin ;)
Good framing and great treatment.
But...I think its mainly so good, because of your facial expression.
I cant stop to say "interesting" if I view your photos, doesnt matter which kind of pics, always "intersting". Also this one.
I really like your serious glance, impressive.
Well done.

Hey there's my goodlookin' neighbour!!!

I'm looking at this and wondering about what kind of expression & attitude that is. Kind of concentrated, kind of worried... kind of...interesting?

i've been experimenting with portraits lately...street portraits mostly, which is different than what you have here, but this is so great. I really like the composition that you've chosen and the light on th side of the face. it's very dramatic.
