I should add, no technical knowledge at all when it comes to shooting portraits!!! This was taken on the Nifty 1.4 at F8...

Just come into to work and this photo is MEGA dark compared to at home where it was edited...

Very strange, I need to get all my screens singing from the same songsheet...

I think it rings true when they say the owner and the dog (in your avatar) share looks. Nice portrait.

Nice picture, but if its for a profile I would crop it a little to much blank space to the left
Thats just my opinion ofcourse

Adding "welcome" text to the blank area. When I post the URL all will become clear.

Nice portrait and something a bit different!
Too many of us photographers hide behind the camera and when in front of it for a SP tend to look away from the lens! (well, that might be just me!). Interesting pose, makes it appealing, but imo looks a bit like you are praying rather than in a natural relaxed pose?

Nice even lighting!

I would say slightly more of your cropped shoulder should be included, but I like it !
Maybe a tad more contrast, or lift the mid-tones, but thats just my taste..
