Returning for comments.
Very sweet conception, well taken and good choice for sepia. Bumping to 6

My first thought was "It's scary Jack from The Shining." Nice details

I can see that the eyebrows are in focus... but the eyes appear a little soft. Maybe a little more depth of field, or more focus on the eyes to improve the shot.

Would have preferred either a tighter crop (just the eyes) or looser (the whole face)

Good focus. This shot doesn't really convey trusty to me without the aid of the title, and the lines of the brows and nose keep drawing my eye to the nose instead of the eyes. Hope thats helpful. Pretty good.

As regarding to the title - I wish I could see the whole face.
Personally, eyes alone don't make me feel trustfull.

The photograph itself is great though
