I adore this image. I would also take the highlight out of the ring. jano

thank you mary anne! i will consider your critique by taking another look at this in PS. your suggestion to tone down the ring may indeed improve the image! shu

Powerful image, Shu, and you're right about the grain working in your favor. One little nit-pick...I wonder how it would look with the ring (esp. the highlight) darkened down a bit. I think it draws the eye away from his face.

thanks! ed really was in this mood when i photographed him in near darkness w lots of noise as a result. i like the way the noise adds interest to this image, so it worked for me! LOL shu

shu, you know what this made me think of? Some guy sitting in a confession booth, really remorseful about whatever he happens to be confessing. Really powerful black and white. Well done.

Spectacular, this really is so 'mood capturing' it really makes a statement Shu.

Great composition

nice treatment with the grid, toning, and texture - evocative.
