Interesting character study although I don't think you needed to blur out the background because it doesn't seem to be very distracting in the first place. It's now that you've made the effort to disguise it that my eyes go straight towards it. I also believe this picture has great potential for b/w or sepia.

What we lose by not seeing the eyes, we pick up twofold in all the other little details. Great character study.

Black and White! And some grunge style processing... This could've been awesome - hair with an attitude!

Super sharp, crisp portrait of an interesting face. He could use a lint roller though.

looks a little over-sharpened to me with some haloing on my monitor but an interesting portrait, like it

A tiny bit less sharpening would have kept the beard from looking so odd. Amazing portrait, though.

Love it. Something about these boys and their mo's that has a lot of character and photographic appeal.
