And the final shot for Portrait Week! I nearly didn't post this one either as I think it makes The Boy look a bit too evil. There is something of a 'Clockwork Orange' feel about it that I'm not so sure about i.e this shot doesn't really portray The Boy as he really is. Having said that it also has an odd old-time feel to it which I do like, although I must admit I HATE the flash shadows! Once again this is a pre-post. I am traveling about quite a bit at the minute and when I'm static I'm busy sorting out exam stuff at work. So, another big thank you to everyone who has commented recently, at some point soon I will respond! Promise!

Oh dear, I think I would avoid him if he came towards me with that expression!! It's a nice photograph and I have enjoyed portrait week and good for you, rising to the challenge and stepping out of your comfort zone. I do have some suggestions but I'll tell you in person!! :)

excellent head shot -- but that is a very devious look he is giving you! :)

also of note -- i am really enjoying the shadow-work from ears to chin... adds an extra complexity that is quite rare. the eyes alternate between the thin detail lines of the cheeks and face to the thicker and darker shadow lines -- pops the head right off the page so to speak. brings those devilish eyes even closer! well done!

Nice shot, like your reference to Clockwork Orange, does have that kind of feel to it. Great work on your whole portraits series.
