I like the angle of this photo, really does make you wonder what he is thinking about.... could it be a ... ribbon??? Nice job. Great photo!

Great focus on the eyes on this well composed entry. I like your lighting effect... good luck

Great detail capture, the prominence of the ear spoils the composition for me just a bit; 6.

Nice angle ... excellent light ... MAN ... so many shots here better than my entry in this challenge. I think that cropping off the top almost halfway through the ear (highest point on the hairline) would make it even more dynamic by grabbing me by the throat and making me focus on the subject's left eye and make this image a 10 for me. - 9

I don't like the light on the nose where it's burnt out nor on the chin. Skipping the second light would have been much better in my opinion.

Nice composition, great expression. Backlight is slightly over the top, but not disturbing. (8)

good expression, angle and crop. lights at left are blown

Your "karsh" light is to hot. Bring it down a few stops. I like about a one stop different or sometimes less. There is something to be said for having a really subtle side light. Also it usually works better if it does not hit the nose. I love everything else about the photo 8

Ok, there is a raging debte about people's voting habits at the moment, so i will attempt to give a detailed comment with my vote:

interesting angle. interesting lighting. intersting pose that goes well with the title. nice processing on the eyes. good move to put a border. 8

Ear sticks out too much and distract the attention

The light on his left cheek (pictures right) bothers me. It just doesn't look right. - besides that I think it's good.
