very nice image. I would have liked to have seen more light on the darker sides of their faces.

What jumps out in this image is the slight increase in texture of the skin and the more intense look on the face of the subject on the left. The other looks younger and has a peaceful innocence to him. The mole becomes a point of interest that the viewer can't help but concentrate on. The lighting is incredible.

The bile rises in the back of my throat as once again I see that despite my PB I am beaten in score and placement by my buddy from Conneticut. Then I pause for a moment and study the photo, I see a great image that is beautifully composed. A shot with lots happening in it but not overly busy. A picture with a gorgeous black and white conversion, rich tonal range and superb sharpness. I then sit back and sip gently on my celebratory glass of wine, I close my eyes and smile as I realise.....I HATE YOU! ;-)

Great image Peter and a genuinely touching story to go with it

Nice one

Comment by ELLIPS:
Very interesting.
The harsh light and extreme contrast would probably not work for a single portrait, but build really the composition here - and create between them an esthetic connection beyond their resemblance.
Their eyes are just a bit too dark, and therefore with less expression, but it's still a great job!

BY far the best shot of the challenge. Love the half face in shadow technique. Excellent.
