some what cold, it has a 70's feel to it. Like the post processing.

I like the stain that surrounds your head. It's like the opposite of a saint. 7 (not crazy about the composition, though. too safe.)

the heavy dodging left you with a halo and no contrast in your face - feather that out more, and add the contrast back to your face and this is a cool shot - although I wonder if DPC would ever embrace it.

Very dynamic composition to this portrait, really like the subdued color contrast you went with. Face seems a little too greenish or flat or something.

there is a funny green glow around your face ...

Interesting portrait with a great setup and composition, but the green burn-in on the face just doesn't work for me.

I don't like the lighting nor the "color", but this is totally a subjective thing. However, I understand the effect, and as such a highly rated photo (just not for me). 7.

I find the halo around him very distracting. He also seems to have a greenish tint to his skin.

Interesting style, nice work.
