I've been playing with this pic for a long time. finally got it the way I like it I think. Heavily cropped but it's what I want.
Hope you like it.

Damn Jon, how many stories are in that face

This is super! I like the tones and I think that the crop works perfect!

Beards always look cool in black and white
