Ok... I just realized that seven + years ago this was one of my picks in the "Pick your fav image from the person above you" side challenge. This week I had the realization that "picking a favorite" should include a comment about why. So I'm back over the last 1600+ posts to make amends for my omission.

Even though it seems you're not active at the moment, here's my belated comment:

I enjoy this kind of representational abstract photo for several reasons, including the well-crafted nature of light and texture and overall pleasing composition. More than that, it's simply striking, stopping me in my tracks and making me linger to appreciate and enjoy.

Finally, it holds up well to time. This exercise of mine (returning to view an image after several years) confirms my appreciation of your photo.

This just looks creepy. It's like he's a mannequin and I'm suck in a staring contest with him. High vote for that visual impact.

Classic lighting approach. Something in the processing makes his color seem green.

The contrast is just a little too strong on his face. I really wish to also see the other eye here. (or at least some shape of his other part)
The eye is very catching. A 6 from me

Really great capture and conversion, love the light spotlighting the tombstone. A few things that could have made it pop a bit more would have been some burning on the light spots in the background and maybe a crop that moved the tombstone a little more left and not so centered.
