Hi Natalya, for me the Black and White really works in this image, The left side of the face looks a bit shaded to me and could have done with lightening a very small amount, i would have left a little bit more room above his head as well. But i do like black and white portraits and this is a good one.

Great shot Nat,
looks like a real character,could have done with being a bit brighter though as the side of his face is a bit dark and the detail in the jumper drops off towards the bottom,the B&W suits and the BG (whatever it is?) goes well...

aaah! I just like subjects such as this that show much character.

I am no expert but as a layman I really like the portrait. The whole composition has as Tedz says "got character".
Cheers
