Pretty cool, this is one of my favorites of the guys ( us guys don't seem to be doing as well as the girls at this self portrait project). Excellent lighting and I like the somewhat soft focus.
The candle looks like something out of a classic painting, after the slow exposure, but it's lit you wonderfully for this shot - it works, and works well.
I like your pose, gaze and the lighting and the way you've captured the candle. Good detail in your hair, beard and skin and I like the way you've used negative space. I also like the very impressive 3 dimensional look of your face...it really pops out. Nothing much I can say to improve this photo. Very engaging image and very well done. 10
Great shot. I like the use of the candle. Have you tried using the exposure settings on your camera? Might try a lower exposure so the light from the candle doesn't look blown out. Good luck
Very nice use of the lighting. I can't help but wonder if I would like it better if you weren't looking directly at the camera. That might totally change the mood of the shot, but it already feels like a fairly dark picture to me. Maybe that's what I'm trying to say: it feels to me like there is a slight contradiction between the tone of the picture, and your facial expression. Still, very good photo.
