*****************
now that i read the comments i think this pic would have done great in the portrait challenge, nevertheless i thought the challenge was black and white in color, hence my submission.
i want to thank everyone who gave me high scores.

Sorry. While you have black and white on the subject's face I just don't feel like this really fits in with this challenge. That aside the expression is just kinda weird rather than intense.
Techincally, I suppose this does meet the challenge, because it does have black and white in it, and there are no challenge details saying there cant be colour as well, unless Black & White I says so.
I like the black background against the white face, its seems as though it may be a bit oversharpened but I am not sure. I like the composition here. Hope you aren't losing points because its not in black and white and imagine you have recieved a few DMC's, I wish you had desaturated it to see how it would have worked, I am sure it would have with all the contrast here.
