Nice hatched lighting. Looks good on a man! You've lighted his eye and created a triangle-like feature on his cheek along with a funny eye-lighted area from his moustache. But the angle of the light and the ratio looks good on a man, shows ruggedness and character.

Have you taken a class to learn this at BP? #1428977

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
