After comparing with the color version, I prefer the B & N, in my humble opinion I think that adds more drama.
Very good portrait.

Thanks for the feedback.

Excellent portrait, Jorge! While the two others are nice as well, this is the one that gets the prize IMHO. Deep-set, but incredibly intense eyes, suggesting some frightening behind-the-scenes story. And you were wise to stay away from the real-men-do-it-wide-open-only trend.
