Comment by TeamZissou:
Nice portrait, though I would like to see a little more of his "environment", as the challenge calls for an environment that says something about the person. Exposure-wise, I'd like to see the shadows a bit darker to give the image more depth, and unfortunately there are some blown out highlights on the hand and the face is a little overexposed. Compositionally, I wish he was looking at the camera, instead of leading my eye out of the frame. Despite all these nit-picks, I do like the photo, and he is an interesting subject. Just needs a few technical tweaks.

Comment by JohnnyPhD:
This is a simple shot and the pose is good. However, his face could be a little sharper. As for the challenge, I don't see how his environment says anything about him...3

What is his environment? Maybe show a bit more of the background so we can see what it's all about.

Great shot - I like the use of black and white and the background you choose really makes it all work...very authentic feel...

Would have been a little better if there was something in the background to tell us something about the subject. Nice capture of his expression though

I'd love to know more about Abe, but his surroundings are too bare to give me that info.
