Interesting lighting. A couple items, IMHO the shadow on the subjects right eye is too dark and clips the eye itself, second, the OOF cards and hands to me are a distraction. Maybe you could darken the hands and cards just a bit. Still, a nice image, thanks for sharing.

Hi Enrique,

I like the blurred cards--it creates a sense of mystery as to what hand this guy is holding. You might be able to work on the shadow on the subjects right eye as commented by John. Nevertheless an intriguing portrait....................Jim

Should name it the gambler. Your choice of dramatic lighting with a catch light in both eyes makes this a wonderful portrait. Well done!

After viewing this again I might be tempted to reduce the green tones a bit.

Enrique,
While those of us who do photography can find subtle things to improve an image, I like it just the way it is. I view it viscerally and for the emotional response it gives me. I think it is a stunning photo. Wish I had taken it. :toast:

Very well done! I like the mysterious lighting and the shallow DOF. Great mood to the image and a lot of mystical depth.
