Greetings from the Critique Club!

Initial reaction - the first thing is of course the very strong face in the foreground, but it's the secondary that catches my eye - what's going on beyond? What's real, what isn't? It creates a very intriguing tension within the shot. The face in the foreground maintains control, however, constantly bringing you back.

Technicals are strong - good light, good conversion, great detail in the foreground subject. Appears to have met the challenge by voter standards. Lack of significant number of comments indicates to me that most voters felt it was a very good photograph - not requiring a lot of "fix this" comments or garnering a lot of "WOW" comments either. Very nice work.

Great light and texture, I think this was a wise choice to make b/w.

I am a big fan of B/W. I love this one. The detail is excellent and the sharpness is spot on. And nice use of the 1/3 rule......
