Love this portrait. It is so strong because of his hands and his eyes. Also the haircut gives it an element of mystery. This is one of the best in the challenge.

Well captured emotion. The shot seems a tad oversharpened, but the concept here is brought across very well.

I would be in despair too if my hair was cut like that! Excellent capture of emotion.

Dark skin and black and white photos are such a beautiful combination. I would like to see the hands perhaps covering the face more for a better look of despair. To me this looks more contemplative.

I really like the emotion in this shot, but I'm not sure about the checkered looking hair. It also looka just a tad over-sharpened IMHO

10 this speaks volumes for me. Love it-the whole package.

Very emotional and good b&w conversion

Nice image. I think the B&W does it justice. Great detail. Without the title, I would have been close about the mood you suggest. As I view this image, I wonder if the haircut, has anything to do with this person's 'despair'. Nice Image <6>

well captured, like the bw choice, very effective

Definately gets the mood of dispair, but the hair cut is highly distracting.
