Very, very very nice photo. Good tonal range, nice rich blacks (I had a photo teacher drill rich blacks into my head). While some may think the strand of hair is a bit distracting I think it really adds to the "feel" of the photo. Top 10 for sure.

Lighting seem a bit harsh. Nice capture. Wonder if you'll get any responses of "I don't comment".

Very nice, maybe a little flat contrast wise- might be might work monitor I maybe shouldn't use it for voting on B&W.

Lovely capture and not too much drool :)

I might've pushed it a little further with the high key- ie, pushed the whites even a little more. Nice expression, the cropping is okay. The eyes are fabulous

I like the graniness, don't care much for the blown out highlights. I call them blown out, because it doesn't strike me as a high key shot.

I would've cropped this tighter, off the bottom at least. I find the necklace a little distracting with the light reflecting off it.

I wouldn't go as far as saying heaps of improvement. Like I said fabulously done and thank you for the response.

And couldn't he have just slept on the grass while you waited for the light? Damn, selfish models. :)

Fabulous shot, well thought out and exectued. One question:
What do you think led to the "floating" look of the man? When I first saw it I really thought it was a bit of a lighting issue- ie standing out a bit much compared to the rest of the scene or maybe lack of shadows. But after looking at it more I think it might be a sense of scale. He seems almost a little too big for the overall shot.

Shot could have been better focused, maybe tighter on the diamond would have expressed this better.
