I really love this one. Great idea to use the blinds and the low key effect on the subject. I am not seeing a window frame here, but I'm not anal about stuff like that. One of my challenge favorites. Good work.

Great study with that steely gaze.

I love the other self-port. of yourself. Especially the glasses. You have that focused stare that adds so much to your images. not to mention you look like Sean Connery.

I think black and white would have been the right choice here 8

Not bad, like his expression and the lighting but I totally think he should be sharper, his face needs to be clearer.
Post actions
it seems like the original photo was a bit underexposed. but I like it anyway! the lines are very nice, and you've managed to capture the personality of this person very well. bumping to 8!

One of the few I have come across thus far that used louvres effectively. They are a little too bright, but not enough to do damage. Overall, well done.

Great picture. That looks like Sean Connery.

the stark editing and pose appeals to me. good luck
Post actions
wow! the look in his eyes are amazing. very nice processing as well ;) good luck.

The harsh white lines truly create a sense of separation. Nice job.

Very effective, reminds me of an old western movie with Clint Eastwood! Great duotone usage.

Looks like you put these white stripes into the photo. But I don't know if that is true so I will wout on tis like you have not added it in after. Good portrait

Great use of lighting and shadows, which sets up a nice mood. The slats across his face gives this an air of mystery that really adds a lot to the photo.

Nice composition and use of light.

Cool. I like it. Nice composition, contrast and duotone.

This is a wonderful shot, the look on the man's face is very intense but not over bearing, very nice. I like the window blinds coming across and while not your normal "framing" per say, very unique and thoughtful. When I ran through them last night at lightening speed I had this at a 7 but I'm raising it to a 9, well done.

ohhh this is good... I like the sharp cuts across his face by the blinds and allthough you cannot see the 'window frame' I know its a window and have scored it thus, excellent -8-

Great shot. Looks like Sean Connery :)

I know you!!!!! Nice with the stripes from the blinds.

Wonderful contrast between the blinds and the subject. I enjoy the black and white.
Post actions
Very dramatic and intense. Nicely done. Like how the left side of the face fades to black.
