Very nice simple photo. The crop/composition is fine although a little tight next to your hand. I think all that is ok. Where you can improve I think is the glasses should never cross the eyes. Maybe get a little lower with the camera. The focus is great and right on. The image does seem a little red maybe taking that down a little would help. The lighting seems good although a little harsh on your forehead. Either way it gives nice depth to the photo.

Nice basic portrait, but it's much too pink.

Nice studio type portrait, but it looks too red. I think some hue adjustment would help.

Very pleasant. Relaxed pose. Maybe a hint of blown out on the forehead. A touch of softness - pretty nice.
