I think you've fallen into the trap of oversharpening this one a little - but the lighting is oddly effective. It's a pity the background is dull, it doesn't really vindicate your off-centre composition.

Nice DoF and defiant expression.

I'm guessing you've heard this ten times already, but the border has to go. You've captured an interesting subject but the slightly odd expression plus the sunglasses prevents us identifying with him and as such it doesn't work as a portrait.

Good - nice and sharp and a face with lots of character.

Some constructive criticism: Firstly, the crop isn't doing you any favours. It's just too narrow to score highly. Secondly, the image doesn't do well as a black and white as the lighting is very flat. The black cloth is clumsily arranged, meaning you have a knee floating in mid air and half a hand has been cut off. Most importantly, I don't feel a connection with the subject - it's for these reasons you're scoring badly at the moment. I'm saying this to be helpful, not harsh - hope I have been.

The lack of contrast in the image doesn't particularly suit the monochrome conversion. Though I like the composition, the concept is a bit clichéd for me.

Really fantastic perspective and extremely well exposed. All that's missing for me is a person trudging home alone after a long day's work...
