Grit as in "True Grit".
This reminds me of a character straight out of a John Ford western. Excellent imagery and color.
Regards, Bill
P.S. Exceptional portfolio, M.A., particularly your color palettes and themes.

I was a spectator at this shoot and learned a lot about lighting. M.A. has really helped me learn lighting, and as you can see, he sees lighting and knows what he wants. Great shots! Great lighting!

I got so caught up in the story aspect of your picture, I totally forgot to critique it!
I love the classic 2/3rds view of his face. It really works well in this image and contributes, exceptionally, to the storytelling aspect of the image – given the near-perfect physical attributes of your model to pull this image off.
The darkened background, with minimal detail visible, really adds to the overall strength of presentation. There is nothing to take the viewers interest away from the subject, yet enough visual texture back there to add significant interest, suggesting a sense of place: dark interior of the subject’s cabin home.
The window lighting theme strengthens the sense of place created in the background.
Sorry if my exuberance is out of control, but (damn!) I like this image! Again, good luck to you in the competition.
Would you mind if I were to put a link to this page on my blog and write a short entry about this image? I’ve sent you an email @nebraskavisions w/my blog address so you can judge it’s content for yourself before you respond back.
Cheers,
-Mike.

Title? How about: Iron Will . . .
The weary determination I see in this man's face suggests a life of struggle just to stay in the game. His wardrobe appears new. This suggests he may be doing better than even. His firm grip on the iron barrel of his rifle suggests he is the navigator of his fate. He is what he is by his sheer force of will.
Incredible image! Very expressive. A whole story in just one picture. Surely worth a thousand words. Good luck in the competition. Please let us know how your image fares.
Cheers,
-Mike.

Wonderful portrait.
As for titles, how 'bout:
"Bring on them Revenuers!"
"Danged Varmints"
"Gotta Git me Some Dinner"
"The Main Rule for Datin' My Daughter"
"Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammo"
"Contemplating the Feud"
"Is That a Trespasser?"
"Come On Chickenhawk...Just a bit Closer!"
Just kidding. Love this picture. Of course, Don got a pic of his cousin:

Thanks so much for the kind words,was looking through your work and will go through them with a closer lok here soon, just wanted to say thanks for the shot of reality as far as Titles go. I'm getting all excited about this competition this year, and as you said perhaps am making more importance of the title than is needed, by the way I was stunned by the superior quality of your work, and feel humbled, just to get a comment from you :), there are so so many world class photographers on this wonderful site, sometimes I want to burn my Camera :), anywas, thanks again, will be commenting on your work soon

I don't konw the tittle is so personal, and isn't important. The feeling are the question.- And the image is in the top, a stunning perfect quality portrait, for the competition the ligth is wonder, and the manage colour is excellent.- You know M.A. (¿...?) I'm international judge of phography contests, the title is not important, for me...But this one could get the name: "Dramatic Essay in a autumm day..." WARMEST REGARDS.- LUIS;) (7/7)
