Very cool shot, I love the darkness of the hair blending into the background. The lighting is superb.

Using the ring flash here was a nice touch... brings out the eyes, and enhances the expression.

I like the photo - Something different.

Don't assume that because you have an affinity for your model, the rest of the world will too. That being said, on a number of levels this carries a pretty strong emotional payload (which I admire in a photo) and what is art but the attempt to deliver emotion?

intersting idea

I like the full circle flash reflected in his eye.

I like the slightly off-center framing and what looks like the use of a ring flash!

Almost looks like he's smiling....a creepy photo.

Nice use of high contrast. The crop helps to add to the shots feeling of disconcertment.

I think the shape of their face helps add to the feeling of being a vampire.

Like the use of contrast and B&W to set the mood

I'm partial to B&W portraits, especially ones that are not too serious. Great job. 9

This is fun. The expression is much more mischievious than threatening. I like :)

the catchlight from the ringlight makes this image that much better. the lighting itself is kind of flat, though.

Different. hahaha. Looks like he goes to the dentist regularly and religiously. hahah. I like the tones and the dark background.

Fun portraiture. Great in b/w.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice ring light and vampire teeth. The dark background, monochrome and slight blur add to the nightmarish effect.
