How I did it -

David Halgrimson	The eyes have it, they are great. I like the tone and the tension of the hat being cropped. I might dull the area under his chin a little and remove the item on the far right middle.

Jerry Hug	Yes, I think you got the essence of your goal. This man has a stare that goes right through you. His ruffled hair and traditional hat adds to the impact of the image. The toning works for me. I am always trying to find a sepia color mix that would work for all toned images and I am still working on that.
Paul Hoffman	Now I do like this, the tone on this one works well. The angle you have chosen is very good with nice detail and good eye. There is a little white patch half way down on right hand side, I would remove that as it catches the eyes. But I would have liked to take this one.

Jim Baker	Beautiful environmental portrait of Afghan man.  Great lighting and very effective cropping.  The inclusion of the headgear adds to the composition along with the piercing yet soulful eyes.  Great range of tones and the sepia toning adds to the presentation.
