What a serious expression. His look and the excellent black and white qualities make an attractive shot.

A very fine shot you have here. The framing, b&w, his posture and expression all pulls together very nicely.

There is beautiful detail in the shirt. Also a general air of mystery in the photo. It's very well observed.

This is a very powerful portrait. He has a very serious look to him. His crossed arms are making me think that he has a stern disposition.
Wonderful tones in the black and white. I might have cloned out some of the things on the wall though. I think they distract from the strength of the photo.

i have to disagree laurie; i think the stuff on the wall really adds to the photo, gives it that sense of mystery and intrigue. imo, anyway.

Very good. Looks like there's a touch of anger or at least guardedness here. The composition is really effective for this mood - the wall is almost as harsh as his expression.

I agree that the stuff on the wall adds to the portrait. And so does the off-center positioning of the subject. Both elements do a great job of adding to the powerful presence of the gentleman. While the photo may be more technically "correct" without them, it would suffer from their loss.
