Great picture… really like the B&W… my only piece of advice is that perhaps a larger depth of field would have been better as it looks like his chin is in focus and his eyes and forehead are not…

Welcome, Mahmood. We do hope that you enjoy the forum and we look forward to seeing many of your photographs.
I like this portrait very much and would be interested in which lens and settings you used for the shot.
The D7100 is a fine camera indeed and I wish you much success with it.

Welcome, Mahmood! We are happy to have you as a part of our photo community.
Very nice portrait. B&W does work very well for this image. I do agree with mscharff about DoF.
We are looking forward to more of your work.

Thanks for the information about the settings.
F/1.8, as you know, gives very shallow depth of field.
Actually, I think you got away with this one, but I’d try some
with smaller aperture openings to see how you feel about it.
The 7100 can take much higher ISO settings without problems.

(btw – If you do your returns with Shift-Enter you won’t get the double spacing.)
