Look at those low votes. Ok maybe you're not carrying a cool looking axe with bulging muscles or jumping around in an Icelandic paradise but this wasn't that bad. Your score is actually worse than normal since the average in this challenge was a 5.8 something. Ok maybe I shouldn't bring that last part up. :P
Hey Rikki. You're one of the few heads I know. You're a legend photog and I'm average especially in people shots but I'll give you my best critique anyway. Smile/expression is very good, you look relaxed. The centred composition looks good too. The shirt goes well. Exposure is good but maybe a bit heavy on purely front lighting. Skin tone and hair look slightly unnatural, sorry if that's what you look like in real life :). Background is a bit boring and a bit close, I think it would have been OK if OOF but maybe better if darker as well. Overall pretty good especially for someone who doesn't do a lot of portraits.
I like the way the hands offer a subtle initmation of shyness, yet also draw the viewer in to your eyes. Adding a martini glass and some blues and yellows would have made this really 'pop' ;) Cute picture!

This can't be Rikki because I've seen some of his portraits and he knows how to take a good portrait shot. Would've voted this much higher with a better background and more creative lighting.
Hmmm....who's this guy?! Whoever it is, looks like he's trying to pull a "Rikki" - although without the monitor and martini glasses. :-) Fun image! Your eyes and hair are coming across a little sharp.
I love the detail in the hair! Good catchlights in both eyes and smooth overall lighting. I would like it a little better if the wall didn't show texture, but that's not a big deal. The smile is contageous and the centered/balanced composition works well.
