I like how you made this feel 3D. This means good lighting and focus.

Like the concept, would like to see more tonal range.

Spot on challenge - beautiful use of low key, the tonal range is so smooth - so smart too!

Comment by drydoc:
Very nicely done. I do have a couple of white spots on the left lapel showing up on my monitor. They should have been tacked away or clonned out. I, myself, often wear this "Regis" combination black on black and get many compliments. May you fair just as well! It also makes me mad that I didn't think of it! BOL. BTW, just a matter of taste. . . since you have many angles in the cut of the cloth (both jacket and shirt) I felt that a Windsor knot would have been more appropriate!

Very nice...like this one. 8 from me. Maybe trim the top a bit more?

Comment by Kavey:
I like this! I wonder whether it would be more striking if the shirt where white, and perhaps a white handkerchief in the pocket? The main subject would still be black...?? I appreciate that may not have been the look you were after, I'm just thinking aloud in terms of what I might prefer in an image.
