I love contrast this intense that still conveys a face with beautiful areas of shadow. I consider this a real technical achievement. and the honesty and directness of the expression is a photographic achievement. I'm hanging this in my fantasy gallery
Both soft and dramatic. I can't be sure of gender or age, but he/she seems to be a thoughtful soul. The lighting, the chiaroscuro effect, determines the impact of the image, which I feel is strong. Also, a commentary on race might (or might not, for that matter) be being undertaken. Something like, I can be made to look different, by ignorance, lack of empathy, camera lighting, but I am just who I am, like you and you and you. The tones are deftly handled, especially in the intergrading of dark and light. Beautiful liquid eyes. I think the framing choice works quite well. Nice title.
A fine, compelling image.
