The pose is indeed moody. Your exposure looks very good. Perhaps a slightly lower perspective would have retained the impact of the pose and shown a little more eye.

Very appealing Simon, like an old man sitting on a bench in the park remembering the good old days. I particularly like his neat old-fashioned hairstyle

. I too wish a bit more of the eye was visible.

Thanks for the suggestions re using a lower angle to see the eyes better. I am learning a lot from this site!
Balan, I was just in Bangalore for 2 weeks at the end of August.
