Hey Chris, I remember him from a previous post with the dual screens...reading over your shoulder!

A nice portrait finished with sensitivity. There is a lot of character in the face which you have left with just the right amount of softness.
Not sure whether your title means it is a memory revisited for you - I think perhaps the contemplative expression of the subject suggests the memory is his.

Well, taking a page from your own galleries.. and admittedly, the first creative thought that popped into my mind ... think a B & W conversion would work well with your portrait here.


Hope you don't mind, as I had a go myself:

"A memory revisited" - B & W Conversion

(Shadow/Highlight adjustment.. High Pass Sharpening; radius 5.5).


What I liked about the conversion was reducing, mitigating some of the background distractions and putting more emphasis on your subject.

I didn't address the luminance of the medal on his lapel. Which I think should still hold some focal prominence, however.. knocked down a little.


Your photo.

I like the expression captured. Composition is fine.

Caveats?

Little stronger focus/clarity on the.. and at least.. the right eye (this perspective). As the DOF is not quite there.


I will also readily admit, that the expression.. direction of gaze.. does invite your viewers to contemplate the contemplation visually represented. As it did for me.

I like the B&W version. Nice work. The lack of DoF was caused by using only natural light in a rather dim room and trying to keep the ISO down low so f1.4 on my 50mm lens.
