He looks tough and wise. That is where you will get your own stregth from. A very good portrait. Lots of character. B/W always helps.

Good strong character photo. Nice pose...good choice of title.

Great portrait which expresses more than just a face of a man. Technically it also seems very good. If I should put in some critique then maybe it seems rather monotonal and if it wasn´t for the hair I think you could increase the contrast a litle. Don´t know if it works in this situation but maybe a polarizing filter would have come in hand to reduce the withe glance of the hair.

Great photo but you'll have people voting low because it doesn't bluntly say strength (not me)

First it's a good shot, I like the b&w, the 3/4 side view pose is good. Second what a nice tribute to your dad this is. I love the sentiment. Very nice entry.

Nice portrait. Might benefit from some fill lighting to lessen the shadow across the lips.
