Every time I go to comment on this, I get distracted and end up not doing it. It's popped up like 5 times now, so I HAVE to get this in. lol The only thing that I notice is that the focus on your eyes looks a bit soft, where the left of the photo (your right) seems to be the crispest. Probably lighting? Overall though, I think it's an excellent self portrait and shows personality as well as detail. Nice to meet you. ~Heather~
I love how the light creates such great contrast on your hair! It's a shame that that same range of tones is not as present on the "darker" side of your face.
Excellent shot. I love the light and grey tones. They almost look blue. Great look but would like to see a smile. :-) I love the lighting on the hair. very cool. good luck
You got the lighting just right for this mood that matches your face. Very nicely done. This photo is true to the rules it has set for itself and I think reveals you nicely! 9
I think a portrait should reveal some character, or emotion of the model, by showing expression in eyes or other facial features. Did your picture accomplish that? yes
artistic/creativity? fair
Technical?fair
Overall?good one showing an intensity and seriousness. Interesting lighting but a bit blown out on the side of your neck.
serial killer look..I hope you answer your door that way when the JWs come by! :) Love the lighting..this is something I tried, but failed miserably at!
