A very serious character , but he was happy with the result ! Comments

please ,

Almost strong enough to be Rembrandt lighting effect but that would be at the half way mark of the face as you have limited the lower light and given nice details.

I think this is well presented and indeed done with a level of confidence in your lighint set up... Very Good.

Also thanks for the comments on my post always a please I try my best to reply to your notes on the shots like use of vignette or how I post proces a lot of that is the use of a High Pass filter to bring the details out... Once I have the image where I want it in Black and white and do a variations of darker then I add a layer copy set to hard light then filter to high pass between 6 and 9 pix.

Thanks Jorge , Paul and Pierre . Thanks Sonia , I agree ! I may do a B/W version when I get round to it !

Thanks also to MJ and for the insight into your methods . Have you tried using Threhold ? Regards to you all , Bill

He should be pleased with the results! This is a great portrait.

You have captured very powerfully the dignity and intensity of this person.

Excellent job of classical portrait lighting. Just asjust the curves to tone the exposure down a little.

Love the lighting and detail on this portrait. He's got a direct gaze and a just a hint of warmth in his expression. Very well done.

Very nice lighting Bill, suited well for your subject. Warm regards!!
