I agree; nicely done. My only nit is that I think you needed a little light below to separate the beard from the background.

Thank you! Good advise that I'll def keep in mind!

Thanks! I have to say I like it too haha
But I'm still a "beginner" so I def want to get as much feedback and learn as much as possible.

I like it.

But, I don't like that strong vignette when there is a profile involved.

I like it, try to differ the background slightly from the face as it'll wash out the face blending in a little much! good shot though dude!

I keep opening this thread and finally had to comment.

It's a neat picture! I really like it, and I can't figure out why people are nit picking the background separation. It looks pretty defined to my eye, and I keep zooming in, even to the darkest part of your beard.....nope, still looks pretty separate to me.

Well done IMHO.

The more I look at it the more the oval shaped vignetting is distracting and the more I want to see the neck/hair brought out in the right corners...

Look at the extreme black level at the bottom right hand corner, it shouldn't drop out so much, but there was heavy vignetting applied. I do like the effect on the left hand side of the frame, but let's see what it would look like if you backed it off the right side.

Nice work, Sir!
