Every art discipline has established guidelines...

Clearly, art is a subjective thing -- but there are conventional guidelines and principles that, in general, distinguish 'good' art from 'bad' art. That is exactly why people spend four years in college to obtain art degrees -- if it weren't so, no one would waste the time or money.

Jim's comments are on target, and clearly sincere -- he did not seem to be demeaning to the OP, but was suggesting legitimate improvements. Having entered and judged portrait print competitions many times in my career, I can assure you that Jim's comments are retrained.

The OP did ask for any critical comments, and hopefully he will objectively weigh those comments -- that is one of the best ways to improve as a photographer.
