I probably shouldn't give it a high score because you're a hottie (this is you, right?), but I can't help it. Luckily it's also well shot and the smoke effect is really cool. Well done.

Great blue tones, great strong expression and I really like the fog around him.
I probably would have cropped a bit more of the hair or show his total head. In my top 3.

sweet shot! Looks like you might need to work on smiling though ;)

What is that, a Russian naval officer's coat? I like it.

My only beef with the shot, and it's a pretty minor one, is that the upper right corner is a little distracting for me. For some reason my mind keeps wanting there to be a little more symetry between the two sides, but that's only minor.

Nice Job!

Very cool, looks like a fashion ad -- the smoke, lighting and muted colors are all very nice, and that's one evil, coldhearted look!

Wow...now there's some eye candy, but it's difficult to relate the photo to the challenge without the title. Still, I think it's a great photo (really really nice to look at) so I'll give you an 8

great portrait. lighting could be slightly more contrasty/dramatic in order to emphasize the good/bad halves (that i assume you are trying to convey), but that's only a matter of personal taste.

From the looks of your photo, I am not sure that you really mean it. Brilliant shot. 10

It's a beutiful, moody image. I'm not sure it's working so well as an entry in this particular challenge.

Wow the person really looks like James Dean!

The smoke adds so much to it. :)
