Comment by SandyP:
I like the drama of portraits that have one side of the face darkened, and in this case the light on his right side is quite dramatic.

When you say you wish you had leveled it better, do you think it needs rotating? That's very easy to do in Photoshop. On your tool bar, there's a little crop tool, and when you drag to crop, if you put your cursor on one of the corners, you can rotate the photo before you click to crop and it will rotate it for you.

I like this alot, but I'm wondering if it were cropped closer to him on the right if it would look more professionally composed ??? To me there may be just a little too much negative space on the right of the picture.

Layers is what I consider here. The facial layer; the background layer. The distances apart, the depth of field, the techniques of taking such a photo. The loss of colour to accentuate the face. The asymmetry of the facial features parallel with the asymmetry of the composition. Use of gentle tones and softer lines is also something I note.

Nice image - the portrait in B&W is really nice. What are you doing for lighting?

Comment by Wink:
Nice setting and capture with a nice B&W conversion. Could be formatted a little bigger. Might want to check out the tutorial on this under:

Comment by Stiger:
Creative. Cool idea. I like the slanted angle you chose. But I agree with some of the others that a lighter background and little more depth of field would help.

Comment by bennettjamie:
I think this would be better if it was lightened a tad. Hard to see detail.

The only thing I don't like about the photo is the shadow on the bottom, I guess that is you? Otherwise nice perspective and cool shot.
