Almost Karsh like. However, one minor thing, I know it's just me nit picking. ;-) And maybe you shot one as I'm going to point out. But a very very slight tilt of head down might've removed the light distracting reflections from his glasses leaving clean eyes. Sometimes it just doesn't work because the tilt changes the complete eye effect and how the light angle strikes the face. I know when the photograph popped on the screen my eyes went directly to the reflections and my re-action was, "Damn, beautiful portrait but those reflections take the edge off from being a perfect photograph." But like I said.... "maybe you did pick it up and attempt to get rid of them and it wasn't possible." For what it's worth. ted
