Well done! Like a shot from an old Universal movie. Your friend should add this to his portfolio. (Btw, my four Free Study favorites ended up 25th, 54th, 64th and 116th!)

Stunning shot. Like a scene from a 40's mystery or horror film.

Very well done. Love the shallow DOF. My kind of portrait.

This is a new comment series for me, so please bear with me while I find my style!

(Voted earlier)

This is one of my 9s - I like it a lot. Furthermore I think it enriches the DPC collective portfolio. Put simply, I wish we saw more stuff like this. Let me tell you why it pushes all the right buttons for me:

1. I like quirky portraits and this one certainly qualifies - you've made some really good choices here. This feels like a rooum but I'm not sure why.

2. The DOF intrigues me - I think it is lens induced - looks a bit like what I get with my 85mm f/1.2 but the fall off seems to be even greater.

3. DOF aside, where you've placed the plane of focus is just perfect - passing straight through the irises.

3. The monochrome toning is perfect - just a hit of sepia.

4. The deadpan expression of your subject is highly compelling - engaged but somehow dismissive.

Overall, a fine piece of work.

Almost reminds me of Christopher Walken.
