As others have said, I love the background. The coloring (as always) is amazing too. My only pet peeve is with the shadow so prononced, the lighting/shadows on his face would be more extreme, but who am I to judge? Besides, the whole picture has an abstract feel almost, so...... Anyways, it's truely amazing, can't wait to see more.

The glasses already make him look like a smart cookie but the background also helps it look like he's more intelligent. Great Job. ^^
