Matt, I could not find the big pic.
However, I cannot describe it but love the 'cool' color scheme. The brick wall however distracts from an
otherwise very good portrait. Ian seems to be contented with his 'cider' life, however I feel a sense of
sadness for him.

Regards.

As with Fahim I think there is a great deal of sadness here - Ian may be content or not, but he certainly appears to be weighing your intent. Voyeur or something different.

Overall this is a disturbing image, and that is probably as it should be given your title.

Good work.

Mike

Thanks for the feedback guys.

@Fahim, I agree with regards the wall, unfortunately not a right lot I can do with that...I could darken it a tad but I don't want Ian's jacket to blend in with the background. Also just checked the link for teh larger version and it appears to be working now...
