~ the Jew : through the ages ~

Very nice portrait, I like the "color" and the character. This definetely grows on me.

Background is a little cluttered. Would this be a little better if you had stepped a tiny bit to your left, so that the head was framed in dark, not the light blur? (I'm not sure myself.)

The beard seems to indicate too much sharpening, but this could well be a jpeg artifact.
