I wishthe face weren't quite so much in darkness, and I might have favoured b/w but saying that I do like this shot :)

Nice attempt - On my screen the darks are a bit too dark

I really like what you were trying to get here, but the lighting is just a tad too dark for me. If his lit eye was a little brigher and his forehead shadows less prominent, I would have rated this one top notch.

Nice, cool use of shadows.
