Here is a portrait of a very patient subject I shot on a Christmas market a couple of weeks ago. Curious to hear your opinions and citique.

The central subject is interesting enough but the background is very distracting because it contains so many of the same colors and tones as the subjects facial features... MHO
Perhaps a tighter crop...

| It is an interesting subject, but there is so much going on in the background, even though it is blurred, that it is distracting and almost overpowering the subject. |

| I am having a hard time seeing the complete picture because of the width, is this only me. Is there a setting I can change on my end to make a max./min. picture width? |

Interesting subject -- but I have to agree with the others that it's to distracting in the background. Here's what i would do with this one (see attached). Hope you don't mind the rework.

Yes, I can see what you mean and how a tighter crop improves the impact. Thanks for your comments!
