the background a bit too washed out, but a great shot, nevertheless!!!

I wish the background wasn't so bright. This would be great with a little more tonal range in the face, IMO.

I like how his fierce raggedness interacts with the specklespackle background. Not sure if I buy the composition, though. Would you have chopped it this way for a pure portrait challenge? Maybe... 8

Kind of loose the portrait in the contrast of the back ground.

The portrait is interesting but the background (texture, blurriness)is distracting. Would be better cropped (but then probably wouldn't meet "landscape" requirement for the challenge).

Why the black and white? He looks like a colorful character.

I like the contrast, lighting and pose. However, I am not sure what the Landscape format gives you but dead space...
