Default An Experiment

I was bored the other day, so I decided to use a Photoshop tutorial to try to make one of those really neat black and white portraits that people sometimes do. I don't know how to describe it.
Don't Worry
I kind of like the effect, but it's not really me. What do you think of it?

I think it's a great image...I like the b&w...great contrast...he looks kind of sad? That's not a negative comment, you captured that emotion well.

I have to agree with everyone else, the B&W looks great not overdone at all. The picture is full of emotion.
