great processing! but i won't do it this sharp. also the aperture could be smaller to show the background on the left. Generally i think it's better to use an analog camera to shoot b&w pictures.

I like the processing here - it really emphasizes the rugged face. Also, the DOF is perfect, if he background was any sharper it would detract from the subject, Well done.

It looks oversharpened: the texture is great but more akin to a ancient statue made of stone; this contrasts with his lively eyes; the left eye is a bit blurry.

too sharp and dark for me

I have to agree with the "over sharp" sentiment expressed by others. I do like the processing otherwise. Your subject has a great face, too.

I agree that it looks a bit over-sharp, but I personally don't think it's a problem with this image. It is a little bit dark (and I literally mean very little). But over-all, it's got good character and I think it works.

A bit oversharpened to me also - and a bit over processed in general. But I like the expression and composition

j'aime beaucoup ce portrait, mais je trouve que l'effet donné est trop poussé, je l'aurais fait moins fort.
