That's correct Victor, it is a male.
I chose this shot because to me he looks as though he is miles away, pondering some rather sad subject.
The other part of the plan was to choose a decidedly non "pretty" subject, but in this shot he doesn't look as bizarre as he does in real life, so perhaps the shot misses from that point of view.
We shall see whether others agree or disagree.
I know the song well. A very nice portrait although I'm not convinced that the title fits. She appears happy or at least content whereas the title hints at extreme sadness.
