The high contrast between the shirt and both the background and the subject's face seems to dominate the image. If having him wear a different / no shirt is not an option, adjusting the curves or judicious cropping might eliminate this effect. The reddish cast underscores the theme, and the monotones do a good job of bringing out the visual textures in your model's skin.
really like the rosy/red tones, your capture of the model's emotions is excellent, like the off-center placement, (small nit but the title doesn't quite match what I pick up in the face but that's my fault, I'm sure) -- one of my favorites this challenge
Intriguing shot, which demands repeated viewing. Effective post-processing. The collar takes perhaps a tad too much attention away from the face, maybe this is because it is very close to being overexposed. Great lighting.
Nice, does capture a hint of anger. The lighting almost works here, anger is dark, but somehow the noise is overpowering the photo. Your subject has sharp features and with more light, could be drawn out. The contrast needs adjusting to somehow make the background less dominant. From an artistic perspective, it would be nicer if the jaw lines were stronger, and the muscle more tense. Anger should have muscle flare, otherwise it is not anger, but more sullen. 7
