Obviously it's in the eye of the beholder but I'm having a hard time with this one, seems like a perfect example of Rembrandt lighting.

Great portrait shot, softened by excellent DOF control and added grain. His expression, especially his eyes, make this a very special image. Voted, earlier, got my highest score.

Handsome man. Wish the lighting was a bit more even though. Love the high contrast look though, editing is great.

Voted already.

Well, I love portraiture, it's what I like to do, this is done well, lit well and has the right amount of grain in it for me to dig out my old awards (not too many get handed out these days). 10
