5D 50mm in camera BW shot in .jpg for fun. Brown tint added in post, resized, sharpened, saved.

Like the tone and feel to this. Not sure about his 'pinky' finger or the beer bottle in the FG, but those are nits. Did you burn the BG camera left?

no sir, it's untouched it that regard. ty for the comment.

I like the feel of this too. Good expression. Nice light.

There is a suble background "arrow" of light leading my eye back to his face when I wander off to the right.

As for the beer bottle, I had trouble finding it, even after liam pointed it out.

I like the BW, don't like the pinky finger placement. As Jim mentioned the "arrow" of light pointing back to the subject, while I agree that it does point back, I think it is too bright, maybe tone it down just a little.

Nah, no worries on editing...kind of was the point to just shoot, do as much of it in camera as possible. Pinky be damned, it's how he was sitting.
