Hi Alex, glad you posted some more. They look a lot different on a black background and I feel would make some good mono shots.
I have to ask what lights did you use, as I can see two catchlights in his eyes. Jjust wondered out of curiosity. :)

These were taken with two Elinchrom (I think 250watts each) flash heads with silver brollies on both, one to each side of the subject. Gave kind of a 'soft' look to the face...as the gentleman is 45+ so tried to favour him! (lol)
 
I like the 1st shot, though I dont think that kind of 'head in mid-air' would suit everyone.... perhaps some backlighting might have helped define his form.
The subject does have a kind of mystical look about him and the eye contact is nice and strong.

I must agree with Glo about the first shot - IMO is the best of the set posted - However, I wondered how much it would have enhanced the effect if you had a soft hairlight/backlight as he appears to 'disappear' into the darkness. I bet this shot would look great in Mono and cropped into a portrait just ever so slightly. Good effort though :clap:
