Great. I'm going to get real nit-picky (meaning talking about a minute detail). Generally shadows get cooler and possibly more neutral (depending on the saturation of the painting's overall style) rather than warmer and more saturated. That orange shadow on his shirt is pretty intense, especially considering the comparative neutrality of the orange of the shirt in the sunlight. I'm not saying go bluer, but you might want to check out some cooler and toned down variations in that particular patch at his collar.

The bounced orange under the chin and neck is fine because it works like a color accent and adds life to the flesh tones.

Other than that it all looks like some really nice painting.

Attachment 89502 hope this is better ;-)

Small adjustment but it makes all the difference, don't you agree? It also matches the shadowing in the small places like around the collar. So it's all "of a piece", as we say.

Well done indeed.

Prepare to some Barcelona fan request as well then (not me) .... LOL
Personally I have a sad memory from that Ajax team, since Juventus lost a Champions Cup against them (1-0), but it was an almost invincible team then and it was a honorable loss.
It was far more painful to lose the final against Hamburg or Borussia Dortmund which were supposed to be beaten quite easily ...considering we had 8 finals and won only two .... decidedly not the best record ....
That Ajax was the real top club and clearly above all others in that age, probably even more than Barcelona today, also considering that they didn't have the incredible economical turnovers of todays superteams buying and paying for any superstar available from anywhere in the world, such as Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munchen, and not even that of oil and gas deep-pockets sheiks and tycoons teams like PSG, Chelsea Man City and United.
