Very nice, a little too much noise for my liking, but I give it a 9.

I like the depth of field in this shot. The lighting from the window seems a little harsh at first....but after a moment it fits in perfectly with the mood of the shot. Well done.

I'm a fan of black and white especially when the subject is primarily black and white. The composure could be a little more interesting, but the contrast definately could be a little higher.

The bit of grain and blur really add to this

The pose does a good job of communicating the intended mood. However, the soft focus, blush pillows and the elegant plant make this feel somewhat relaxing. Things would seem more overwhelming if he were framed by stacks of textbooks or there were collection notices on a table in front of him. Using harsher light to illuminate your model would have also given this a more on-edge feel. Rendering his surroundings somewhat out of focus is good, but if things seemed to be more chaotic (perhaps by zooming while the shutter is open) this would feel more overwhelming and less like a struggle between a peaceful environment and a stressed out model. You did a very nice job with the light here, it just fights with the mood you're trying to convey.

Awesome picture. Really powerful emotionally. This is really making the most of the artform to express the feeling.
