Finally an image that truely looks high contrast to me. Bright whites, dark blacks, I think it works great.
I think the thing that bugs me in this shot is the background. The background area to the right of the photo seems odd. While it does add to the contrast of the photo, it doesn't add to the appeal.
Focus and clarity seem ok, but maybe a tad soft. It might just look that way cause of the harsh lighting, but I feel that the lighting is more important here than the crispness, so I believe you made the right decision there.
I like the placement of the subject within the frame. Having the subject facing the right of the photo with some neg spave in front of it is a good thing. To me though, I wish the negative space had been something other than that bush(?)
Overall a mysterious photo, appealing to look at, but could use a different background in my opinion.

| Good contrast shot...although my first thought was Friar Tuck and not death. :-) |

| Wow! Made me shiver! Really like the texture of the cloak. Background up left is a little distracting. 10. |

| Great composition and pose. Certainly meets the challenge, but I think the highlights are a tad blown out - even for high contrast. Also, not crazy about the background - doesn't seem to match the overall mood you're trying to establish IMHO. Still a strong entry. |

| Creepy....cool, but creepy. A few highlights almost blown, but it adds to the mysterious effect, like he's really not of our world or something. 8 |

| Love the image, the contrast is great. Without reading the title I thought it was a monk, maybe because of the waist-tie but excellent job! |
