I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.
Positives: One of those images that reminds me that we live in a social world - looking at this feels like touching base with humanity and the reality we all help to socially construct. In this way, the image communications culture. I like how you haven't tried to straighten out the white balance, preferring to leave in tungstenesque. The image is also slightly voyeuristic; we aren't sure he is aware of that - I like that, since it places us there through making us aware of the act of viewing.
Beautiful portrait, proving (among other things) that it's not necessary to have grotesquely 'pimped' eyes to make an impact and convey feeling. Thank you.
Seems more like an "Observer" or "Studious" to me. :-) Nice DOF...may have considered cooling the color balance a little and cloning out the blue dot in the background.
