Been spending a lot of time on here!
I can agree with mana, though, one must wonder if it were a topless women it'd have the same creepiness.
The guy looks pretty tough, the expression has a certain "dont fck with me, I've got a knife" look to it. I can certainly see the creepiness, but I also think that this ambiguity is interesting.
As for the lighting, meh, it's chiaroscuro - which we're all programmed to like because it looks like Rembrandt. I don't particularly like it, but this is just a taste thing.
