Matt,

A good execution, but tell me more of the total concept, intent, method and purpose!

Apologies, I uploaded the wrong version of the image and therefore had to take it down. Here it is again:

@Asher, in response to your question, I was trying to go for a darker, more sinister image and to this extent asked my model to adopt quite a random pose. This combined with the presence of the knife hopefully raises questions as to what he is going to do with the blade and what is it's connection to his face.

It's all left to individual interpretation...!
