Nice shot, great composition, I agree on the contrast that would def. help in this case.

Comment by Artyste:
A nice choice of subjects.

I don't have much to say about the shot itself, but I'd like to put something out there for you.

During the course of this "challenge", people will be wanting to comment and learn and provide insights, and whatnot. One way that you can help with this is by making sure that you include as much relevant information on each shot as you can. It only takes a few minutes to add the data in the drop down menus, and whenever you can, tell us things like why you converted the way you did, why you shot the way you did, etc.

It's a huge help for everyone concerned, but especially for you yourself.

Comment by Techo:
I really enjoy classic looking pen and paper shots and this one no less. The grain here is quite nice. Could use just a tad more contrast.

Comment by littlegett:
It is a fantastic shot of your friend, I really enjoy the half capture. But for my preference I would enjoy a bit more contrastiness in the image. It just really seems a bit flat.

Comment by emorgan49:
I like the pose the expression, I even like the greyness, all excpet the eyeball, because it is staring right at me, I want it brighter. You can cheat on the whites of the eyes, you know. Zoom in on the eye till it is really big, take a small brush, white "paint" and low opacity and flow (maybe 10%) Paint the whites of the eye slightly with white. It helps to make the eyes the focus of the face.
