Beautiful portrait with some very nice lighting! I read somewhere in the comments you used an 85mm lens. Am curious to know which one is it. :) I have a Samyang 85mm/f1.4, manual focus lens. I have used it a few times, but it’s a HUGE struggle getting the shot in focus at 1.4 coz the DOF is so shallow! And sometimes I don’t have the patience to finish what am shooting. :D
Ah, the 85/1.8 – it’s is an awesome lens! My 85/1.4 needs a lot of time and patience. Doable, but I have realized a manual focus lens is not for the restless me. :D I am trying to get hold of a used 135/2.8. It’s been my dream lens for a long time.

I like this pic. But wondering why you didn’t click it in landscape mode. It would get more realistic view of this man with more colors.
Just asking as i am trying to learn photography now a days.

Composition wise, it won’t create any impact for this image on landscape mode on a 85mm lens.

Mine is a Nikon 85mm 1.8D lens. Film era lens ;)
1.4 can be risky, but i think with more patience it should be ok.
