 I've done a few self portraits alredy with a similar style as this one. I wanted to capture a dark, harsh portrait. I think this shot captures what I wanted it to.

Wow! Good job....has impact. I like the comp very much, as well as the lighting. The focus on your eye could be sharper though.

I like the crop, the shadows, and the great textures of your skin. Maybe a little too much negative space though. 9. good job.

I really liked the way the light on your face runs diagonally across the picture from upper left to lower right with black on both sides framing the light. Very striking

Man, i really like this image at first glance but the color porcessing on the right side of your face pulls back the image. It just seems to be unnatural. Nice composition and lighting.
