That's a great lens for stylistic portraits and I like the first one in particular. However, the shallow depth of field and characteristics of that lens has been a drawback as I don't really get a flavour of their surroundings, even in shot 3.

I like the first one the best. You have captured his character well. The mono conversion adds to the character
