Nice work here. I like the non-glamourousness of it very much, and the framing of the head with the flash reflection is a nice touch. I think, as a suggestion, a more rigorous crop might have paid dividends, though i can see your point with what you've done.

Leroy, your portraiture skills are remarkable!
And I see that your post-processing skills are amazing too.
Great work on the free study, and wow, I can't believe no NI was used!
The final result is stunning.

I love the prickly texture that extends from his skin through his hair to the highlight on the wall. Your title really refines the disturbing feeling of this photo, suggesting that photography itself is a form of abuse. 9

The bottle isn't the main focus of the image, but you did market your beer well. The bottle needs to be a bit more noticeable, a tighter crop should fix that.

I typically do like grain in monotoned images, but I'm not sure it's done you any favours here. I guess it may be because I'd prefer to see 'flesh' as smooth and as something that would be wonderful to touch, but the overall feeling I get here is gritty and hard. I see you've softened the highlights somewhat (diffused glow?) and that does help to a certain degree. Also. I think your subject's pose and title match perfectly and do well to aid the viewer in believing the message you're conveying. Well done, if this is an sp, I think you are very brave. Cheers, Rina.

Nice shot but a bit too much negative space on right half of photo. At least you didn't name the duck T.O.
