Very unusual talent to photograph, I really like the set-up and the easy expression of the model. Only part that bothers me are the hands, it looks like he is holding a tool but on first glance thought it was a big funny thumb and the lower hand maybe should stay postioned behind the table. 7

Comment by posthumous:
I for one appreciate the grain. I'm sure you're taking a hit for it. I'm taking a huge hit for my blur effect. This is an example of a gimmick that is so good it transforms into art. I feel like I am both standing outside of you and standing inside your camera at the same time. In fact, I also feel like I'm standing in your moccasins.

I really like this, very creative approach. Love the grain and B&W... powerful. 9

I enjoy this shot especially with all the noise. Here is another great example of when noise is an attribute. Another note, this shot does quite well capturing its subject without looking posed. 8

I think cropping the bottom to about mid-table would have helped. His left hand and legs don't add anything IMO. 8

Very excellent environmental portrait, it shows the man very well and also what he does without overwhelming him. I think it might look good with more of the bottom cropped off as well - so you couldn't see his hand hanging under the table.
