John, this is a fine photo. It shows a part of Frank's character
quite clearly. The straight ahead look over the glasses and the
slope of Frank's shoulders give this photo a great deal of strength.
However, there are a few small elements in the background that
detract somewhat from the impact that this photo is capable of. I
also feel that this photograph would be better served in B&W. Try
desaturating it, and bring down the bright spot on the forehead near
the hair line, lose or lessen the background distractions, and
you'll have a portrait rivaling some of the best made. A tighter
crop might also help increase the power of this portrait.
Here are a couple of Q&D suggestions:
