Great B&W portrait , yet seems somehow plae. You may try to adjust the contrast levels. However, if you intended it to be this way then its fine =) Well done!
Pietro, nice portrait! I like what you've done with the shallow DOF and B&W - it works. I know you have strong lighting from the left, but do think that adding a little contrast would really make the subject even more appealing - but it does look awful nice as is? I've been especially caught by the expression - not what I normally see or expect (don't mean that in a good or bad way - just curious). Regards, Dan
