[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 223112, member: 9240"] Nice photo. As mentioned, I would fix the tooth. I also went to your Flickr to find the original to verify what I was seeing, and for a portrait like this you really want the eye to be in crisp focus and what I see as the focus point is either the nose or the chin - forward of the eyes. The EXIF from the original photo is... Camera Maker: NIKON CORPORATION Camera Model: NIKON D3200 Image Date: 2013-11-10 15:41:45 -0700 Focal Length: 55.0mm (35mm equivalent: 82mm) Aperture: f/4.0 Exposure Time: 0.017 s (1/60) ISO equiv: 3200 Exposure Bias: none Metering Mode: Matrix White Balance: Auto Light Source: Unknown Flash Fired: Yes (Auto, return light detected) Orientation: Normal Color Space: sRGB GPS Coordinate: undefined, undefined Software: Adobe Photoshop CS4 Macintosh There is a lot of noise in the large original image (linked [URL="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2858/11019303885_37cdd4bcc5_o.jpg"]here[/URL] for the curious). Shooting at a lower ISO would be highly recommended, particularly given that I'm seeing at least one artificial light source, and probably 2, in his eyes, and you're only shooting at 1/60.
