neck and chin

Bad Berneck, Germany

I guess I'm wondering if anybody
considers this a portrait, and I'd
enjoy any other comments as well :o)

I really like this pic as well. I personally wouldn't call it a portrait though. It's really beautiful and artistic, but it isn't what I'd expect if I were wanting a portrait to hang on the wall.

sorry no critisism, I think this is a really fab shot, the
composition, lighting , focus point, great- dont change it.

This is really good - I took a while to find anything wrong - but I struggled on :)

The shadow from his chin on the shoulder is a bit too dark - other than that, it is great. The softness works really well, the angles, lines, everything.

I love this shot. It focuses on such a small part of this person's body yet the Adam's apple, the chin stubble, and the square jawline clearly define this as a photo of a man. The necklace is a nice touch because it indicates that this is a particular man, making it personal enough to qualify as a portrait. My comment: Don't change a thing.
