This shot is clearly in focus. It is a VERY tight crop....I think it might work better if it weren't quite so close up. The eyes are a little off center from left to right. Great focus though! And the lighting is nice too. Contrast/brightness looks good.

Nice communication of mood. I like how the face takes up the whole frame, interesting shot (8)

a little too confined framing, perhaps too flat

I like the subject and the sharpnes of the textures from his pores & stubble. Cool framing too.

Nice expression, but I would've liked his eyes to be sharper focus rather than his eyebrows.

he looks way more irritated than bewildered - what I do like about this image is the beard stubble, and bad skin

very nice details on the face, but i wish for more focus and luminosity for the eyes.

Great image, with wonderful detail, and nice lighting. However, like many of the "face shots" in this challenge, I really don't get a sense of emotion or a mood that has been set. I try not to be influenced by titles and with this one, even the title really doesn't seem to help me out. <5>

Not sure if it's bewildered or not.

good idea, but the cropping is too tight and focus is on the nose rather than on the eyes; really doesn't work for me, sorry

nice. Would be better if the eyes were more in focus. 9
