What do you think of the shadowed eyes? I like the effect, I think it creates mystery, but I'd like to know your opinion.

I like the BW conversion and your pose/expression. I can't see this image having a similar effect in color. The black eyes don't work for me.

Our eyes are trained to look from left to right so if you had your foot centered with your body more on the right, I guess the image would have been better. Your left foot is cut off, which takes away a little bit.

All around, I like it... As was stated before the b&w, pose and expression create a moody feeling that the color just wouldn't mimic.

The cut off shoe doesn't bother me, and at first the left foot didn't either... but as I keep looking I found myself drawn back to the shoe. Might I suggest adding a vignette to help bring the eye back to his face? A 30% opacity vignette should make a difference
