In my opinion, I like the concept, but I think that there should be more light on yourself, as I feel like my eye stays on your computer screen, instead of going to you, when that is what my focus should be on (since the competition is a self portrait). Other than the lighting, good photo!
The dark room with a person staring at the monitor is unfortunately very overdone. To achieve an impact, the image should be very unique, with a quality of light and shadow that add extreme interest. This image comes off like a 2 minute setup, with not much thought to the overall exposure or subject matter.
Focus is great and the screen exposure is good, but the real subject is lost to the darkness.
While it meets the challenge, the image is not interesting. Question: would you print this and place it in a photo album?
I love the image on the screen, especially the pic on the middle-left. :-)
Seriously though, this would of worked a lot better had the room been completely dark, kept the same exposure you have on the screen (which is bang on) and let the light from the screen highlight the edge of your face.. would of worked better for me.. nice attempt though..
