A great idea for the challenge and I applaud your creativity. I think this would have been much better face on though... and what are those things around the models head?

Makes me think of the Princess Bride quote: "Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something."

It's like a Rorschach test with smoke instead of an inkblot. Very pretty.

Great detail. The slight glint in his glasses is the only detraction from this wonderful, telling portrait.

Composition: He looks just a bit confined.

Lighting/Exposure: I appreciate that you managed to keep the glare out of the glasses. Nice light but I would like to see some separation of the subject and the background.

Pose: Nice head tilt.

Suggestions for Improvements: Leaving a bit of space on one side or the other of the shoulder to give a more free appearance. Some kind of light on the background.

This looks to be a very honest conveying of personality. He has a nice face :)
