Very good photo - lighting, detail and crop.

There is something I find very appealing about this portrait, but at the same time something slightly unsettling. The photography is very good, but I have some reservations about the processing, although I can't quite place what it is I don't like - perhaps it is that the eyes are too white, and the skin too smooth. Nonetheless, a good portrait.

Again with the skin smoothing thing, looks terrible to me, sorry.

Wee bit over-edited for my taste, the editing on the subject's face distracts me completely from his expression, which is a shame as you've obviously caught a great shot here.

Yup- that the missing link! His focus is very nice and sharp with only a little fall off over his/her chest. But the eyes are in focus and I could spend quite a bit of time evalutating those eyes so it defitnitely keeps my interest. Very nice capture.

His face seems a bit overprocessed to me, the eyes look way too bright to be natural. I like the serious expression and the choice of bw, though it could use a bit more contrast.
