Your composition has a little too much contrast. If this is something that has been done in photoshop (which I am guessing due to the graininess) I think that you cheated yourself of otherwise a great picture. Also I think a little less DOF would have been better, although that is personal opinion.
Very nice composition. The angle of the shot is very interesting. I would like more sharpness in the wooden figure in the foreground. I can see a bit of the carving marks but more contrast would really help them pop out of the image. Beautiful shadows on the side of the face.
Greetings :) This is a wonderfully 'moody' black and white. The light/dark contrasts in this image create a nice sense of depth, and that is also strengthened by the depth of field choice. I believe that good black and white photos have strong characteristics in contrast and texture, and this has both... excellent work :) = 10
Very nice I like the balance of having two faces - one in focus, and one, like an echo, suggested in the background, The difference in their expressions is interesting too - gives real feeling to the picture, Depth of Focus on the foreground figure is narrow - wish all of the face was sharp. I might have cropped on the right to loose the white blotch at the top.
