"This is an awesome capture. The expression tells such a story. The freckles, the pursed lips, and eyes that are looking straight into your heart. This boy is ready to play! Congratulations!" - Dave Bell
"Exquisite lighting with great highlights on the cheekbone, and distinct curvature of the indentation of cheek. Great attitude in the model’s expression. I like that the skin includes the texture instead of unnatural smoothness." - Dave Bell
"A great portrait of this boxer. The harsh side lighting matches the mood and emphasizes details. This is another one that feels like there are a lot stories behind the expression. " - Dave Bell
