This is a fantastic portrait. I love how it is sharp and soft all in one. Looking at this truly seems to transport me into another world. I want to know what he is looking at.
The background did turn out kind of funky. But the subject is such a strong draw that I really had to look for a while before I noticed. Great job, your entry stood out to me among so very many. 9

I really like the composition and the complementary grays. The sky makes the rocks look especially foreboding

A really nice picture in which I see absolutely no connection with the challenge. Possibly mistakenly entered here instead of the free study?
