It's the eyes, I think they look as though he is far away, maybe even slightly sad within his own thoughts.

I don't think the shot would have half the impact if he'd been looking into the lens. It's another cracker... in my opinion.

What exactly is "split-toned"?

Asking because I see different tones on his forehead and cheeks, but don't know if my eyes are tricking me or not.

Thanks guys.

Hey Giving', split toning techniques are used to obtain different colours for the highlight and shadow areas of B&W images.
