I have added a percentage of watercolour effect to give this a painterly look. Does it work? All feedback welcome.

Well done I like It ! Thanks for your frequent visits I truly value them Have a great day !

Great portrait.....I like the water color effect, it works well. He does seem happy and satisfied with life. Nice one Cherlyn.

Excellent capture, dear Cherlyn. The expression, details, colors, light and DOF are unique. Very good portrait! Congrats!

I like it a lot, Cherlyn; the painting quality adds to the portrait, and indeed it expresses happiness.

Cool, the pink light is a bit distracting and perhaps a larger aperture will make a shallow DOF and the person will stand out more. Lovely natural composition.

Cherlyn, very good portrait, well exposed . great details and light, as well as skin tones. I agree with Alec, that the pink blob is distracting, and can be very easily removed.Also a more blurred BG will give him more "stage". Still a very good portrait.

Cherlyn,

Good composition. I like it !
