Nice attempt. If you had managed to get one of the light rays to fall on his eye and a bit of a tighter crop it could have been great. 5

Fabulous character shot. The light seems to hit in just the right places. It really highlights the beard. 8

Fantastic shot. I like the way light falls on the barb. The contrast is excellent.

I like this very much. It is striking and not the "typical" portrait. The lighting is wonderful and helps add to the drama of his countenance. I love the beard and craggy face. Your use of negative space helps showcase his features. I wish it were a bit tighter zoom, as I'd like to really study all of the textures of his skin. Well done.
