This looks like a classic master pose. Too bad about the blur on the hand but the rest is awesome. I love the focused look on his face.

I love natural window lighting. Hands look a little unnatural, like the brightness doesn't quite match the extent of highlights on face and hair. Still an interesting shot with great expression.

Excellent portrait. Looks like sepia tone but then there's the green in the window. I'd like to see that window toned down if possible to pull the eye back to the man.

I assume the 3D effect if from some additional blurring? Really grabs the eye, however you achieved the dof.
