Very intense image. If you select the grey area on the bottom right, and up the contrast on just that section you might be able to lose a lot of the greyness from there.

Hope you don't mind the Workshop Version.

Hi Simon

This is truely one of the most "powerful" and stunning eye-conacts i've seen on TN!
Splendid work! You can actually say that having a prime lens really leave you no choices...but that's not true - you had a choice: to take a big close-up shot or not. And you did great!!!
The frontal POV here is excellent and the light and exposure are very good, too.
I'm sure that taking it through glass wasn't easy but you also made great work on your PP and pulled out a wonderful photo.
The very shallow DOF was definately a superb choice, too and it does well to only keep in full focus the eyes and the nose, blurring the rest nicely.
Overall a magnificent capture!

Bravo, my friend and TFS

Nice shot great eye detail and serious expression caught, as you say the murky glass didn't help as it shows more in the out of dof as milky effect. Nice job on the crop and composition rgds Necip.

Hi Simon.
Very expressive and perfect done portrait. Eye contact is simply amazing as well as the color reproduction, details and sharpness. I like your cropping so much too. I think workshop is done very well. My best wishes and TFS.

Terrific close-up portrait with the eye contact. The tightness works much better than a whole body shot. Exposure and sharpness are very good. TFS
Best wishes,
