I think this is one of the most powerful and beautifully executed self-portraits I've seen. This really has a lot of emotion and is exceptionally well presented. You've really got a lot of talent...

I like the pose and the framing you choosed, doing it on a self shot is always no so easy.

Outsdanding choice of lighting, pose, and post-processing. Comp works well. One of the best in this challenge, IMO.

The light works perfectly here. The composition with the elbows like this makes it look very masculine. Yanik?

Very evocative. Excellent tones on the skin and the blue light really adds to the mood.

Wonderful shot, yet I am not sure it reflects a blue mood..but it is languid and well shot and very appealing in a suble blue tone...8

Gorgeous light study. Nice line.

This challenge is full of snapshots, but not this, very well done (10)

Nice photograph, with interesting lighting. Looks very similiar to the new Victorias Secert ads. Almost the same exact lighting technique. Most of the images in this challenge that attempt to capture an emotion or set a mood, have failed. This one is nice. I like the very dark mysterious shadows, and the body language says a lot about the mood. Very nicely done. Good luck <6>
Post actions
my favorite out of the thumbnails!! Good Luck 10
Post actions
good toning and expression; composition is a little unbalanced with the right arm cropped off and that much space on the frame's right side
Post actions
a shade of "Nico"blue? :)
Post actions
Nice. There are some jaggies on the left arm from sharpening? I guess it is a blue expression, but hard to tell. A little destortion on the subjects left. 7
