I think he look a bit depressed. It might be the expression on his face or the post processing. Maybe both, maybe both... I hope that he is ok.

Serious stuff. Quite good processing, suits the mood!

Thanks guys.

@Tero: thank you for the comment and don't worry: he's fine. :)

I asked him not to smile. Why? Because I like to experiment and try other things besides flowers, sunsets and snapshots of smiling people. Not that I have anything against that but there are more than enough pictures like that all over the internet. :)

Dude, this shot gives me the creeps somehow. I've seen his face before, crispy and sharp, but the processing is so... claustrofobic. Devilishly good shot!

Fantastic processing, kind of an eerie mood for this portrait shot. The glasses and details are captivating. Nice job!

Excellent processing, clarity, and terrific muted colors. A very serious, almost somber portrait.

Not better than the first version, I think. I have selectively also had photos where I wanted to try another version, but usually I can't come up with a better one at the finish line! ;)

Very awesome portrait! Nice details and cool background.

I love the post processing of this image. But I think a straight head on angle on his face would make the portrait more powerful.

As it is, he seems a bit hesitant, or frightened of the photographer and the camera.. hehe

This is a SUPER portrait. The expression, the details, lighting, composition ==> all fantastic!
