I see there's plenty of room for improvement ... very nice evocative protrait -- square crop suggests an album/CD cover as well.

Cool image with that rising mist. A great forceful stare with that melodramatic feel. Bumping up.

Revisiting for some comments.

The mood is quite fitting here. The model's expression is very mysterious and dark, especially the way he challenges the camera with his piercing eyes. The swirling fog adds the right amount of mystique as well. Bumping up.

This is a good portrait, but he's very far from looking nasty. He's almost smiling in the corners of the lips.

His face looks to smooth to make him look really nasty, on the other hand the guy from 'Cruel Intentions' looked babyface but was nasty. So what the heck, sod it, you should be nicer dude!

I like it how the light falls on the face and how the balance is between the lit side and the shadow side. In this setting the frontal portraiture works very well. The smoke or fog makes it look very interesting.

Wow, not sure it fits the challenge, but a fantastic photo of a very handsome fellow. I want to know how you achieved the background look..love the way the coat and background are fuzzy and the face is in focus. The light coming over the shoulder on the right is a really great touch...helps give it more punch. One of the best portraits I have seen on DPChallenge
