This is my favorite male portrait ever for several reasons.
1. Valdemar was killing it as a model, the pose and expression is so cool and dramatic, this photo wouldn't be the same with anyone else.
2, I love the style and colors of the image, it all looks so cohesive.
3, It's the most believable composite I've ever made. This photo was shot on simple grey backdrop.

Congratulations to the winners!
A pretty decently compelling composite! I think the only things I would fix would be having his leading hand in focus, and the glare in his glasses. Small things though, I think this is an excellent photo!
