Nice, a Van Vleteren type of portrait.... Maybe one remark "the hand is really dominant in this picture" . If that was the intend then I would have made it sharp. If it was not the intend then I would have taken the shot with a smaller appearance of the hand.
A photographer without a style, is like a pub without beer
Really like this. Crop is perfect. B&W and treatment really works for this. However, I agree with DS in that the hand needs to be in focus here since it is such a large element of the shot. With that said, it's a really great photo.
Great lighting, texture and detail in the face. Conversion is outstanding. Since you can't change focus on the hand I would burn it down so the face and eyes are the single focal point for the viewer. An excellent shot all around really.
