The image was converted several times from RAW and used to balance the lighting out. The background was darkened and some hot spots from it were removed to bring out the face. Auto levels cropped, resized, sharpened and saved in photoshop.

Good play of light and well exposed. A model with an interesting face - makes for a good portrait that holds my attention. Looks like he may be suffering from a bit of hay-fever - the rather red eyes are slightly disconcerting, but at the same time add to the rugged out door look and make the photo interesting.
Earnest and straightforward. Great eyes. Not a "pretty" shot, so the shallow voters might not see it as they should, but I think it's great. Terrific DOF and wonderful facial detail.
