Man, you have gorgeous eyes!!! Love the texture and monocolour of the face. Might have been even better with a bit less of black space beside the face, just maybe a third off. But well done!

Great texture and idea for a self portrait. The grey mud really makes your eyes pop right off the screen, congrats on your 4th place finish!

I like the abstractness of this photo. The only thing I would have liked to be done different, would be more intenseness in the eyes....that is DEFINITELY just my opinion, but I think it would have added a little something more to the photo. Good job!

Wicked! Great eye color, catchlight and great contrast to show that lovely skin texture!
Post actions
Nice lighting. One of the few times selective coloring works. Maybe a bit too much dead space on the left?

I hope your camera is still clean!! I like the desaturation and the piercing blue on your eyes! Awesome job- 9

Wow, that is just awesome. Fantastic contrast with the eyes and the mud caked face.

really diggin' the texture detail here.. your eyes are almost too blue for me I cant tell if the mud is grey or if you did the desat thing.. (thinking you did) either way.. I still love the texture... good score from me :)

Really intense. I love the eyes. Great use of ight and negative space. Clear and emotive. NOt at all expected.

Excellent, excellent shot. My only 10 of the challenge at the moment. Anyone who is willing to do this to themselves deserves a high vote! I would expect to see this at the top of the heap.

Face mask or photoshop? I think face mask, with some PS aid ... or did you get cement in your eyes? Great idea, lighting fits it, and ... are your eyes this blue? Small pupils tells me it is not a flash but fixed light.
