    John,

    Mr. Broadbent's work is excellent, no doubt, but your portrait of your brother is remarkable, too. He has just the faintest hint of a smile. Very compelling image.

    Out of curiosity - what in this shot makes you say that? I am always curious why people like certain things. Not picking on photograph or anything. Just really curious what do you like about it?

    Wife wasn't cooperating so I decided to try a self portrait:


    Toyo 45A, 150mm f/8, flash+softbox, Efke-25, Rodinal 1+50. I missed the focus by about 2mm (string method) though you can't tell at this resolution.

    Very compelling. Who needs a wife shutter anyway?

    thanks

    I should add: all criticism/suggestions/advice welcome. Studio portraits are something I do very little of and would like to improve.

    I'm not married anymore but I never had a "wife shutter". Back then I did often wish I had a "wife shut 'er up" though.

    4x5 FP4 in a Cambo Twin. Just one large umbrella and a big black flag on the right.
    This is absolutely fantastic! Well done!

    +1 on what everyone has said already.
    I would have commented earlier but the best I could come up with was Wow!
