i love it and it delivers the message really right

Like the expression and framing, though I find my attention drawn to the long something in the background coming from his nose and the bright white upper right quadrant rather than the subject.

Thanks amironsi and Triptoph for commenting its appreciated.

Really nice shot. I feel that the title is a bit on the harsh side though, it needs to be softened or even simply left without a title...

Thanks Pete, its interests me what others see in this image.

The expression (helped by your title) is so powerful!

The background is just a bit distracting, though since you tend to follow the man's eyes to "see" what he's looking at. Still a great shot!

The noise and square crop don't do it for me. Great shot otherwise.

Thanks Sue i agree about the background, i wasnt sure about the noise linarms i added it on purpose.
this is outside my comfort zone so i appreciate everyones viewpoints.

expression is good and I like the noise. Well done!
