really really cool composition!! i like your idea on this. overall its a little bit too grey for me though... perhaps change the way u convert to black and white (dont just go greyscale or desat)... something i finally learned pretty late in the game!

Great idea - makes for an interesting portrait. More contrast - I believe it was mentioned - would add to the photo.

Ha great idea with having him kind of either pop into the frame or getting ready to pop out. I am with the others - I think some more contrast would add some to the pic.

I like the half face portrait. Maybe a touch better in the focusing would really give it the POP it deserves! ;~D

I like it too! Usually you see dramatically beautiful women in this 1/2 faced crop. But why not a strong, face full of character! I don't see how he wouldn't like this!

Comment by CNovack:
The contrast needs a little more work to make it pop visually. As it stands now the tonal range is flat with not much tonal difference between the elements in the shot. Playing with curves and/or levels would help make this portrait shot really pop. I like how you composed the shot so that we see only half of the model. It adds interest to the portrait. We look closer at the half of the face we do see to look for personality/characteristics but we wonder about what the other half would show. You could let us see more of the man if you bring us closer to your subject. By that I mean a closer crop - a square crop where his whole face fills up the right half of the crop. As it stands now I think there is too much 'empty' space in the composition that adds nothing to the overall composition.

I like the crop, very nice. Looks like it could use a bit of contrast, seems a bit dull.

Nice color harmony, almost a visual poem!
