A: No
B: No

The subject is not doing anything interesting, he is not wearing anything colorful, he doesn't have a great background or foreground to elicit some interest. In addition his features are covered, there are no eyes or a big nose or an unusual or humorous expression on his mug.

Technically it's fine, but aesthetically it's not very good. This is just my very subjective opinion. 8-)

Well, I asked. Anyhow, I kind of liked the shadows. That's o.k. There are plenty more where he came from. I bet if he were wearing black hose and a red dress you would like it. Lol.

Might have been more interesting if you would have gotten the whole bench in the shot. Just leaves me wanting more.

Maybe. I just thought I would take out what I thought was unnecessary stuff. Live and learn.

In a few minutes, I will have an older lady sitting on a bench posted in the people photography section with the whole bench.

I really like it. Makes me want to know what he's reading. He looks engrossed. I think more of the bench would have detracted from him and his interesting book. Well done.
