I like the unusual dimensions for this shot. I like the fact that the mouth is cropped out as this is also unorthodox (and I imagine you'll probably catch some flak for it). I like the B/W/Sepia conversion. The only thing that bugs me at all is the light on his left eyebrow - not that there is light there, but that it makes such a hard, straight, horizontal line. Still, very well done. 7

all that negative space doesnt really help the photo. Its a valient effort, though the spot of the right eyebrow is a bit distracting, think it would have been better if it werent lit up.

I like the idea very much - I wish the white space was whiter and there was a bit less black space. The straight black line under the subject's left eye is a little odd, but I erally like the hint of nostril visible on that side. Nicely done, would be excellent in my opinion with a little fine tuning.
