thanks

Bellissima la foto, simpatico il personaggio, e inconfondibilmente Italiano!

Bravo Mauro, bellissimo ritratto

I agree - very likeable person, very cleverly composed image. I think the lightening you have done around his face is too much, though, which lessens its beauty.

(My attempt at translation) Accosento - la persona molto simpatico, immagine molto intelligente composta. Penso che l'alleggerimento avete fatto intorno alla sua faccia sia troppo, benchè, che diminuisca la relativa bellezza.

Agreed. A more gradual fade to the darker area would have been nicer. Great portrait otherwise.

This would be a BEAUTIFUL portrait....without the pitchfork. I know you were trying for something different, but this attempt was ill-advised. The guy's got a great face, happy and mischievous blue eyes, a color-coordinated shirt. His visage could carry the picture very nicely on its own.
