The first thing I noticed about this photo when it popped up on the screen was the left eyebrow (our right). I think it seems odd in the photo. Like it doesn't belong almost. Just kind of makes the photo look strange.
The second thing I notice and this is what my eyes keep going back to over and over again, is the texture in the background on the white side. I think that with a simplistic photo such as this, the texture kind of takes away the simplicity. It adds a distraction that also doesn't seem to belong in the photo. It clashes with the other half of the photo.
Focus and clarity are good. I like the detail in the face right down to the facial hair.
I like the lighting (other than the eyebrow) because of the simplicity. The negative space adds to the shot in my opinion and I think it works well.
So really, other than the eyebrow and the texture on the white side, this shot doesn't seem to need any other improvement in my eyes. Nicely set up and well done.

| I like the unusual dimensions for this shot. I like the fact that the mouth is cropped out as this is also unorthodox (and I imagine you'll probably catch some flak for it). I like the B/W/Sepia conversion. The only thing that bugs me at all is the light on his left eyebrow - not that there is light there, but that it makes such a hard, straight, horizontal line. Still, very well done. 7 |

| all that negative space doesnt really help the photo. Its a valient effort, though the spot of the right eyebrow is a bit distracting, think it would have been better if it werent lit up. |

| I like the idea very much - I wish the white space was whiter and there was a bit less black space. The straight black line under the subject's left eye is a little odd, but I erally like the hint of nostril visible on that side. Nicely done, would be excellent in my opinion with a little fine tuning. |
