This is a super capture here and I really think the B&W was a super idea. This is a super expression on this fellows face, the faded parts of the metal really help this guy look very mean. Very nice capture with the border also!

Kind of an intimidating look to my eyes. Pretty good composition and sure has a lot of impact. The guy kind of scares me. Very interesting photo.

Comment from seshadri_sreenivasan


Not only the look in his eyes, but also the tilt and jutting of his head is remarkably brought out.He appears to say "Why Me?". This picture has come out very well. Very expressive indeed. Thanks for sharing!

Great detail from the Vigeland park, I had the opportunity to visit the park several years ago and had a great time there, not so many good photos, unfortunately. I like this black and white, adds mood to this expression. Thanks so much for sharing it.

This is a powerful capture of a sculpted face. Very interesting. It must have had some color; I see you converted it, which for this purpose works well. Nicely detailed close-up.

Comment from Bumbling Amateur


What a great find. Nice framing and lighting. You don't mention a vignette in your notes, but it appears you added one. In my opinion, it's a detractor. The image is more interesting where the sharp lines are, even the back of the head and ear. The vignette fades the details of the chin and left cheek in an unappealing manner. Still, 5 stars for an interesting and unusual subject.

Comment from chickadee


Nice impact and the b.w. sure suits this image well! Not sure he looks deep in thought or in awe of something!Nicely framed making the face the only center of attention!! Sharp focus with nice lighting and shadows, shows many lovely details!!
