i like this image. I would have cropped it a bit more off the bottom and given yourself a bit more negative space just to really balance out the light and dark. Also, you might have wanted to use a different colour of "shroud". The white just isn't doing much for the look and feel of your image.
I like the composition. I like the dark area on right side. If you'd leave your face without paint, it feels like it would be better. You look like "tried very hard" to get something going. Which is good, but normal skin color with the same setup, I think I would like it better. Maybe no colors but just the black tattoo!
