Very nice... I just wish I could see just a little detail in the dark side of his face, however, you may have intentionally done this. =)

From the thumbnail I thought it was B/W...is it duotone? Nice lighting, interesting effect. Might be a bit hot on the side of the face and top left shoulder. JMO. Good luck.

nice idea, but too dark. Can't see enough of the facial features.

Too much shadow, doesn't really work well with the composition.

i like the vignetting, but i wish there was a little bit of light on his right so it didn't look like half a face. nice duotone too. melancholytron? just guessing...

I think that more continuity in the contrast would be good. Too much black, not enough gray

I think this would have been more effective with a reflector on the right side..it's way too dark

Good attempt, but I think we need a bit more light and more detail to really feel it. From what little we can see of his face, it doesn't look like much of a struggle.
