Great Shot Jon. I think the only subtle things that you could have done differently were about balance; the crop and where the light drops off etc are flawless (except for a little 'noise' at the bottom in the middle which is either a reflection off your trousers or perhaps your...erm...never mind)
Anyhoo the balance thing: if your fingers were more level (specifically the e in love) and the lighting were more even between your hands, the image would have a very symmetrical and appealing look (I know...that's a b**ch in basic editing). I think this has a good shot a being a saleable print now that you can edit until your heart's content.
Inky B & W, well lit, Emotional but static, the posing of the model with his hands crossed and head down takes what would be a nice shot and puts it in ribbon land. well done, my only 10
I like the photograph, but it doesn't really depict the opposites of love and hate. It depicts the different words. The shot is technically a good one...I like the framing, the pose, and the lighting (maybe just a tad dark).
Beautiful. One of my favorites. Nice contrast. Good DOF. I really like. I'm a B&W freak and this is one of the best digital representations of black and white photography I've seen. It just never seems to have the contrast and tonality of film, but you have it here. 10
