As for that c&c..:

I quite like the image. The b&w processing is strong in that I think you did a good job getting good contrast. The eyes seem very well processed.

I like the plain simple feel of the image. I feel there's some sort of "contrast" theme, but I'm not quite sure it gets there fully.

I wish I had a larger version to look at to properly critique things like sharpness/detail.
I think you should have tried to avoid the light/flash highlights on his skin
Though I loooove vignetting, I think yours is a bit too strong.. I prefer a more subtle approach.
In the end, it's a very cool portrait. Well done.
