Striking image, really draw the eye and makes you think about the story behind the shot. The lighting and detail are beautiul. I love the contrast, the expsoure is expertly handled. If you are aiming for another thumb up I would say the only way to improve this would be a lovely big catchlight on the eye and a stronger composition leveraging the negative space and shape a little more.
Excellent work, love it

Excellent post processing of your original street photo, Alex. No, you won't be moving the lighting (the sun--natural lighting)! I like what you have done here. Good sharp focus. This man, with his long, wavy hair, continues to remind me of times gone by---as in General George Custer---or alternatively some other Civil War veteran. It is an interesting face----one that I think I would like to know more about----perhaps that is the attraction to me. Well taken by you and well presented here. I do have one question: Entirely hand held or with a monopole??? Thanks for the work on this---and for sharing it. Bruce

Very nice portrait,very good black background and very good sharpness and details,the only thing here is his dark eye,i think if his eye was a bit lighter it could be much more beautiful,my taste is a back light in this type of black backgrounds beside the main light source,totally a very good shot Alex,thanks and regards,mo :)

This a good profile of a man who is not being very expressive and who was caught at an unflattering moment. If your first shot of him was cropped, it is a better candidate for manipulation in processing.

I like the idea, i think the light should be moved a little to the subject left and also his head turned slightly as well, you have picked the hair detail out very well I would like to see that lighting applied to the beard area as there is a lot of texture there to breathe life into this image.
