it seems too bad to have cropped the top of the head

Cropping off the head doesn't work for me on this one.

very traditional shot. excellent. I would like to see the top of his head.

Excellent picture - I think it might be even more enjoyable if the top of the head hadn't been cropped off.

Nice portrait, but you cut off the top of his head

I like the b/w...the pose is very relaxed almost candid in a way...nice contrast against the white background

very nice portrait, but there is a distracting white spot on his nose that would have been better removed

A bit too dark for me, but the softer focus if nice

Great shot. My complaints, for what they ar worth: the shirt and to the left the messy (at least on my screen) back ground. BOL

background is very noisy. his face could be lit a bit more. great pose, angle of head.

I like this a lot. What I like is the expression you've captured, the way you cropped the photo, the contrasts and levels in black ad white. The whitish background is a bit noisy but this is a fine photograph.

I like the pose on this one. There is a small amount of noise in the background, which may have been from resampling (I know it's difficult trying to get something down to 150 dpi - and not have noise). Good luck!

Good black and white portrait - well removed from the background. Pehaps some work on the texture on the bottom right hand corner might improve. The almost symmetrical crop against the asymmetrical pose works well.

Looks a little dark with grain in the background. Did you clone anything out from about the ears down on the background? Did you try running the shot through NeatImage (or similar)? I'd try curves to bring out he eyes a little more and remove the darker areas under the eyes. Good expression and good model, tho.
