I think this is a great photo. I love the black and white and think it really adds to the photo. I'm a little at odds with the eyes. At first I thought it was some photoshop effect, but then I realize it was just a busy area behind the photographer. Really great shot. 8
The eyes seem overdone and unrealistic for a b&w photo. This technique may work better in color, but it looks alien-ish here. All other aspects of the portrait are excellent.
shame about the eyes, they look very fake and other pp'd oherwise would have been a great shot, think its the lack of pupil definition thats ruining it for me, still way above the majority of the challenge though, nice work 8
