He looks like he has a serious black eye. Its great work, dont get me wrong, i just think that the shading on his right eye is kinda wonky - his cheek is too low, it doesnt match the other one.... It is very impressive though.

apple, you are correct... its a picture from freeskier of jon olsson and if you look at it, he looks like he's got a black eye there too. Same thing with the cheeks... i was trying to recreate it on paper and it looks weird without the environment around him, i guess
