A portrait he and you should both be proud of. Love the little detail of the sun glinting on his watch; a small detail:-)

Lovely portrait of the graduate. I wonder if he's thinking about starting out in the world saddled with student loan payments and $5-a-gallon gasoline. And on that note, I feel compelled to copy/paste a letter to the editor from today's SF Chronicle...delete if you like:
Our nation decided our fate at the gas pump about eight years ago, as we did to the fate of our environment. Back at the election, Al Gore cried out, "conservation." George Bush responded, "... preserve the American way of life."
The Al Gore camp cried out "global warming." The George Bush camp responded, "What global warming?"

Great portrait Kevin. He looks to be in deep thought. Agree with Sherry about the Sun on his watch. Cool little addition to the photo.

Stunning portrait Kevin. It's been mentioned a few times already, but the little twinkle of sunlight reflecting from his watch justa adds so much to the shot. Very nice!

The only remark I have, but it might just be my setup here, is that I find the image a little too sharp. A personal taste obviously. Just thought I'd mention it though.

nice portrait, great light and composition. for some reason he looks to me to be a bit unhappy, or maybe worried, like something's weighing down on him.

Good angle with the natural lighting. Perfectly famed. It also looks like you shot slightly below the eyeline which works wonders.

Brilliant portrait snap. I like the way you've caught the pensive expression. He seems to be wondering about what the future holds.
