I like the monochromatic tone and light in this one, as well as your use of shallow dof. your pof is dead on. Very well done!

Head and eye are nicely in focus. I wish you had a slightly different angle to make the face more prominent, yet I like the sense of it peeking over his body. Maybe if you could have pulled his head forward another half inch... :biggrin:
