First I changed the levels of the picture. After that I removed all colors except blue and cyan with the saturation function. A little sharpening and my self-portrait was ready :).

More than anything, I like the grainy, gritty feel to this photo because I think it balances well with the high key tone of the image and the color of your eyes. Together they provide clues for the viewer to see more deeply and completely to your essence. Correct me if I'm wrong but from your gaze and expression I believe I see a gentle, peaceful and sensitive soul who is upbeat and uplifting. Very well done.
I like the photo a lot, but I find the brightness of the blue eyes a little scary. I think a more subtle coloring of the eyes would've been more efective. On the whole though, I like the texture of your skin, and you have a good range of grays. I also like the somewhat serene look you have. 8.
this is a captivating image. makes me want to know you. you seem to have honest eyes.. happy about life .. yet the high key has a slight harshness.. Very nicely done!
My favorite part of your picture is the way that your shoulders seem to fade into the background. Beautiful eyes, perfect expression. Feels haunting but elegant.
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? Very much so.
artistic/creativity? yes
Technical? Good
Overall? Very good treatment. Nice that you eliminated all color except in your "windows." Good job!
What beautiful eyes. I like this shot a lot, very daring. I particularly like how you're about to blend into the background! I keep on getting lost in your eyes. A very appealing picture.
