I lit this photo with my two canon 580ex's with some defusing material in front of them. I was just trying out a new way (to me at least) in light matters and prossessing as well.
I used channel mixer to convert this photo to B&W and the A LOT af curves adjustment leyers with differand masks and curves.
Just taking part for fun, and I´m looking forward to voting other photos in this challenge!

Ok, I can't say anything to the technical of this shot but good gosh! What an intense portrait and to be a self-portrait at that! You are very, very good-looking!
Thank you people, this was a really tough challenge as allways! Really helpfull commets as allways here on DPC, in the end I am happy with the resaults. Some times there is nothing wrong with a photograph, but yet some times there is something missing...
everything about this photograph is just fantastic! i LOVE the intense pose and the eyes. the lighting and composition are great, and you have done a wonderful post-processing job on this. it should have placed higher. well done.
If your views have gone up dramatically in the last hour, I must confess...it was me. :) Lighting and composition is good, shot has lots and lots of visual appeal. Good capture of facial expression. Stubble on chin is nice touch. In the end, the eyes have it.. (10) from me.
Not too sure about the title. :-) Very handsome fella. Those eyes are excellent. Like the black and white and the way you highlight the texture of his skin.
Great symmetry, great lighting, great contrast and use of B&W...but there's something missing - maybe the expressionless mouth, maybe the crop of the top of the head...something...still a shot 10x better than I could take. 8.

I love the effect that you have given this image.
I don't think he looks like a bastard. Intense stare but not intimidating.
Love the B/W treatment
Good luck
Everything is great but the eyes.....I tend to like over processed eyes, but these are just too textured. Would like to have seen less dodging of highlights and more of midtones.
