A bit underrated this one, I think. Better luck next time!

nice study of light on a face, and dramatic shading of the eyes. 8

Good detail. Something of a film noir feel to the shot. 7

I think if the light could reach a bit farther to his right side, just to give more hint of his eye, it work better. A very well done portrait, nevertheless.

I like this. The fact that you have to look at the photo for a while for all elements to register with your eyes is a plus in my mind. I have to say, in this challenge, I have a similar entry - I'm drawn to this shot as a result. The framing is interesting and out of the ordinary, and the ultra-high contrast is nice and adds to the overall feel of the shot. Good luck.

Very cool angle, and great lighting effect. On my monitor I can see a couple distractions on the darker side of his face. Maybe left there on purpose? Great image.

Very nice! I love the artistic way you've done the lighting and the pose. And the fact that he's got such a handsome face doesn't hurt either :) Great job!
