Great shot. Interesting face, focus squarely on the eye. Probably my challenge favorite. Good luck,

Comment by Jedusi:
Great shot, and very evocative title.

The title really sets the scene here and draws the viewer further into the shot to explore something of his appearence and consider his character from the presented visual evidence - The Tattoes, the beads, the darkness deliberately shading most of him.

But by allowing him to lean forward 'out of the night' as it were and make contact with you, you have altered the dynamics.

The suggestion that what is around him, in real life - and in the picture, is dark indeed, literally and metaphorically, yet in the midst of this there is the visual contact - the reaching out, the few words suggesting that there is more to this guy than just a scary image, within him there is still a heart and soul despite all, there is still a person there that deserves a moment of your time . .

Good shot - hope it does well.

Cool processing suits the image ,have you considered erasing a bit of the grain of the old man? I feel like he is lost a bit in the grain but that maybe what you wanted!
