Concentrated indeed... I like the low-key in this image. The shadow from your nose disturbs me somewhat, a small reflector would have eliminated it...

I see what you mean about the shadow, Olaf, and it disturbs me as well......but then... ...I sort of get the impression of a Picasso portrait done with photography; as if that left plane of facial features has somehow been dimensionally skewed, and I quite like that idea. The empty "concentrated" black space is nice too - it's like those "Is this a vase, or is it two people?" optical illusions. I like it, even with or perhaps because of its disturbing aspects.
