I think you should open up and tell us what you really think, Shel :-).
Seriously, it doesn't look that bad on my monitor. A little too
contrasty and a little too brightwith some burned out highlights and
somewhat pasty skin. But I like the composition and framing. The pose
is attractive as well.

Hello Boris ... this is a terrible, awful, poor quality image. What
the
hell did you do to it?
Eyes are too dark for the rest of the face, no detail in the hat, lots
of
artifacts throughout the pic, lack of smooth tonal transitions, detail
is
muddy and poor. What editing did you do, and why? What does the
original
look like ... that would be helpful.
This has got to be the worst quality photo I've ever seen from you.

Two questions:
1. I've been doing some editing here... Do you think it wasn't
overdone?
2. Is it a worthy street portrait? How can I improve?
As usual, be brutal but/and honest...
