How can u tell he's old?

Great-looking image.  Not much 3D modeling involved, though.

From sammy@cube.net:

this one is hard to judge. How much comes from the original photographie? How
much from you and the raytracer. Still : I like it much.

Perfect - I have nothing else to say about the image.

You breezed over the modelling very quickly, I would 
love to know how you did the hair so perfectly.

From StephenF@whoever.com:
Interesting in a technical sense but for some reason this 
just doesn't do it for me.  (I wish I could be more specific 
than that, but I just can't put my finger on anything.)  
Definitely different than the typical ray-tracing.

From gmccarter@hotmail.com:
Good work, highly convincing.  Hardly seems like a rendering at all.  Real
contrast.

From hfventer@ing.sun.ac.za:
Technically very tricky.  Well done

From fabien.mosen@skynet.be:
It seems this image doesn't bring anything more than the 
original photograph would do.
Also, please give more information about the creation 
process, especially the source
of the original photograph (to acknowledge the original 
autor, even if you don't
have permission to use the work).

From file:
Although the final image is nice, I feel it relies a bit too much on the photo
you took from the book that you mentioned.  Also, you really should have gained
permission to use the photo as per the IRTC guidelines.  Putting that aside
though, I feel that you could have perhaps done a little more work on the hair
(which looks like it's suffering from MAX's smooth bitmap resizing - losing a
lot of detail)
