This is so good. Why didn't it rate higher? Hmmmm - people are dumb. ha ha I think it's really well done. The closeness to the subject was a risk and I think you did great with it.

I love the stare in his eyes (hence the appropriate title). There seems to be a slight green tone in his skin that offsets the color in my opinion. Otherwise a great shot.

Very intense portrait. There are other shots where the subject is looking at the camera, but this one really just draws you in.

Excellent composition.
it just seems to me you did a little too much Neat Image & Sharpening.

For my taste the pp on this one is overdone, the guy looks like a bit like wax-sculpture. The eyes, skin and the facial hair is all a bit too unreal. The focus and lighting is good.

The composition is excellent, I couldn't have hit it better myself, really a cool crop, respect on that! And as you already know there comes a BUT now, Sorry. The skin tones hit the image very well (that wasn't the BUT part though). Here it comes: The softness, NeatImage or whatever it was you used, is a touch to exaggerated, esecially if you look at the area just between the eyebrows, just a bit too plastic you see? And also the eye whites are a bit too "overwhite". I would have taken out a little of the white so one could still see a tiny bit of texture in there. The little red veins are bothersome I know, but it is still okay to see a little of them, kind of faded out a touch. But overall, the processing is good, I see you put a lot of work into this.

I like the low catchlights and tight crop on the face. I think he has an interesting beard, though, and would have liked to see more of his chin. The skin looks a little over processed, but it doesn't detract from a great portrait.
