Neil, this is actually a lovely portrait with excellent expression, good detail and a nicely defocused background. However, it is chronically underexposed.

I took the liberty of copying it into Photoshop and simply checking/adjusting Levels made it come alive. Actually there aren't any true black tones either!
Best wishes,

Andrew

This is a nice portrait Neil. I like the good use of the natural lights that was given by a window as I see it. The missing of the Zone 0 makes this capture a bit softer but I don't think it would be a mistake. In my opion this is your best portrait.

I agree with Andrew, lovely expression and beautiful eyes.

Thanks everyone and I appreciate you taking the time Andrew, I need to play around with software more than I do... still miss the darkroom but not the bruises from walking in to things
