Very nice portrait, John. I know I can't shoot portraits (because I really haven't tried) except by accident. So you did well here. And the flash was good, too, not really burning out his face. There may be one area of his nose and one above his left eye that you could burn a little bit, taking the flash highlights out. Since you like playing in Corel Paint, it might be something for a rainy day.

Good job! Handsome father!

Best wishes,
Dave

Most distinguished. The flash on the face and the dark background work wonderfully. Indeed, I'm impressed how the flash (rather than studio lighting) has resulted in a perfectly exposed image, with no bright spots other than in the corner of the glasses.

Great tonality, sharpness & lighting. You did excellent job with that black velvet in background, so there's nothing disturbing behind the model. You have very photogenic dad, John! Great photo! 7!
