Comment by PTLParsons:
Would like to have seen at least one eye. Don't usually like B & W portraits but this is pretty good. Needs just a little less light on leg and more in middle.

very strong shot! really love the high contrast you used here. (How did you get David Carradine to pose for you, I hear he's a really reclusive guy?) Excellent! (10) ~mcmurma

I like the strong contrast here. Especially on his face. The more I look at it, the more I find to look at!

Very good. Wonderful composition achieved with the posture of the subject. The balance between the crossed leg and the insinuated upper hand is the key. The facial expression is exact. Even if the subject may not smoke, I would have not resisted including a lit cigarret smoking on his right hand, in the same position as it stands.

This shot almost looks like a drawing, and I mean that as a compliment. The lighting is perfect, and the shot has a lot of impact for me. lhall
