Apologies - no time for a 'Longer Look' comment before challenge end. I'll come back after.

Back to update this comment. Apologies, I'd forgotten I'd be in an Internet black hole before rollover.

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: The perfectly judged processing is a standout for me here - high in detail and subtlety; quite a feat. The light, with that shadow cast across the face is compelling and his expression is such that we seem to be viewing an authentic (and unobserved) moment.

Critical stuff: The background looks a bit patchy, with some target banding on my monitor - would something like median cut sort that out?

Overall: A very authentic image, its slight reportage feel and its clarity gives us a sense an unmediated view. I like that.

Great portrait. Interesting use of shadow. I'm kind of undecided on if I like the right side shadow... Kinda growing on me...

excellent focus. The shadow across his face is distracting.
