Thanks to all for the comments. This is only the second time I have attempted a self portrait, and yeah, not too comfortable with that process. :-)
Since several of you asked, setup was a black sheet taped to a white wall. Had a cheap clip light shining on the wall from the right to light that, and another one from the left to the side and slightly in front of where I was kneeling. Camera on a tripod centered on the black/white line. The rest was just touch-up in post (making the white, more white, adjusting the saturation, etc...).

I was expecting to see more of this in this challenge. You really did a very good job on this without being theatrical. Excellent work and good luck!

Really ingenious idea. Probably real hard to get right.

I would rotate it so that the line is straight up and down, but other wise good shot

Confronting shot. Well done would go well in the High Contrast challenge as well.

good job, i like the alternating dark and light, maybe look straight into the camera, or tilt your head more, to avoid the oquard ear? good job~!

As a portrait, this would be much stronger if you reacted to the camera's presence somehow; making eye contact with the lens heightens the lack of emotional involvement in the scene. The angle and illumination on the face are misaligned just enough to be distracting.

Nice clarity and the use of light and shadow is well done. Great crisp eye!!
