My husband taken while he was watching the news, but I liked this expression; he was sort of oblivious to the camera..it was in color, but the darn flash didn't go off so it came out very orange; I kind of liked the orange tone but figured it would get me in big trouble in the contest. I desaturated, sharpened with unsharp mask, did some adjustment to highlights and cloned out the background fireplace.

Placement of subject is good. Lighting looks fine to me. However, the image looks blurry and indistinct. Perhaps it is a pixel issue rather than a moving camera issue. I like the arm in the shot, but the top of the head is cut off, which is a bit distracting to me.
Something about this looks odd; almost like the focus was soft in the original and it was later sharpened. I'd prefer to see more of either his eyes or his mouth; without those, faces lose a lot of emotion.
I bet your getting hammered with OOF comments. Personaly I like the look you acheived it looks more like a graphite scetch than a photo. Theres a very unique feel to this photo. My only complaint would be that I would lie to have seen it with a little more light. Great job!!
looks like a painting - I like that you left the watch in the scene - it carries almost equal weight as the face - perhaps he is brooding about time passing or something approaching in the future.
His pose is very good, natural looking. However that being said the shot is not in focus. Now you may have done this for a reason,,,? Still I think it takes away from the quaility. The shot fits the challenge.
