Wonderful and very expressive portrait in a very strong crop.

If it was mine I think before going tio the BW version I would do some work localy on the red tones from the nose. Now it becomes soo obvious dark that, and I don't think you made him darker by purpose - it gets somehow unnatural. It's no critique to your work, and for sure not on your face or nose, but in portraiting sometimes skin gives strange effects.

Besides the - wel ment - toughts about this detail, for me it remains a beautyful and very strong + original portrait.

By far my favorite from your 3 selfportraits. By the way, great portfolio you present.
