@Emi, lovely portrait! I think the toning adds a lot in combination with the rendering of those old cooke lenses.
I'll start us off, comment and critique welcome.

Emil, thanks for starting February.
Howard, top notch portrait. Lighting, hair, expression and tones stand out for me.
hsandler -- I agree with chassis on this one. Both you and the subject should be very pleased with what you both have achieved.
I often make a flipped portrait to show to the sitter. Occasionally I get a reply like "You're the first photographer to get me as I really am." Why? The flipped portrait shows a familiar face just like the one the sitter sees every day in their bathroom mirror; but not how everyone else sees them.
