Really like this AL, definitely intense. My immediate reaction was a flashback of DeNiro in Taxi Driver - "You lookin at me, ya gotta be lookin at me".
" A good photograph is one that communicates a fact, touches the heart and leaves the viewer a changed person for having seen it. " Irving Penn

Very well done, AL, not only the expression and the intensity, but also the sepia toning. Adds a lot of drama to it. Excellent!

Cool stuff, Acadie. Something that would work well on an album cover, actually.
