Looks fabulous and it isn't overdone!!! I love the whole surreal effect. It especially works with his gorgeous eyes and his hair

I love it! Looks almost like a cover for a graphic novel! Fantastic job man!

My only nit would be the two crease lines (I'm assuming they are creases) by his right knee. But that can be easily fixed.

Ok...luv reading other comments...haha...funny enough i think if the eyes weren't as strong the face might have looked to dark, as for the background, i think first of it is superbly achieved and secondly the styling of the model makes for a perfect fit...as for over done that will always be so debatable among people, by now I think u've done enough of these to know when it is over done, so question is do u think it is overdone???

*one thing I do wonder is if the crop was wider to the right of him, thus adding more white in the foreground, if the impact might not have been stronger, the background kinda makes me feel as if it will explode out of it's enclosure...hehe...to critical maybe?

all of that said I do think it is a great looking image, what's nice is if u can actually cause a lot of debate, I always think an image is successful if it causes all the reactions that one can get, from hate to love.

I'd like to see it without the b/ground and a bit more light on his face. It reminds me of those dramatic action comic covers
Keep messing about cause interesting things emerge!

The background was a bit boring without the grunge on it. It just seemed bland, that's why I added the texture.

Messing is good?

I love the background and the effects of the shot. the model looks amazing. only thing that bothers me is the way his arm on his leg looks a little too forced.

lovely shot

Normally, I'd say overdone. But, something different from you... not overused... a touch stylish... nah.. you pulled it off mate.

Very dirty and grungey, but it suits the guy and his clothes, probably cose of his stubble, either way it looks good
Though his eyes are very bright

I didn't actually do anything to the whites of his eyes, interestingly enough.
