Classic worn and weathered look. Photo has that sepia grade coloring. Gives me the feeling subject has something troubling him. Lighting is good. Image is crisp in the correct areas and fades out soft nicely.

I like the shot, good composition and light. Your left eye is a bit out of focus (more dof). Nit picky really. Great shot.

Beautiful, just beautiful, colour wise, composition wise and expression wise. I first gave it an 8, but I'm raising it now to 9.

First thing I thought of was Magnum PI. In a good way of course, lol.

Great. I'm distracted by the banding in the background, which could have been cleaned up in post, but a minor complaint. A fanstastic portrait otherwise.

I like the texture of the skin around the eyes and the nice close crop. The narrow DOF works ok since the close eye and enough of the face is in sharp focus. The pose is good and the stare across the shot through the negative space works well. My only suggestion would be to decrease the jpg compression (pushing file size up to 150k) so that the shades fade smoothly in the background greys just to the left of your right eye.
