This one is not bad, but could be much better imo. There's to bright light on your right hand and it is drawing to much attention from your face that should be the central point and in better light. Also I don't like the composition in it, there's to much emptyness at the top to the left and you are slightly facing out of the frame that doesn't work for me. With more of your left hand in the frame and with your eyes placed higher to the left facing the same direction would be much better. Or tighter crop would be even better idea. Maybe you should have your eyes open to make this photo more personal to get more connection for the photo to the viewer, I'm not sure you should look directly into the lens, but I think having your eyes open would make a better outcome.

I hope you don't mind, but I cropped your photo (and used the dodge tool a little on the face) to make a composition that IMO is much better. What do you think?

The last of three emotions that you have illustrated, I like that you have made all three into a theme and not just 3 single shots which can be boring. Again, the lighting, is great. Perhaps, highlight the face more after I write about displaying of emotions below.

Hmmm, here is an idea. I would love to see more emotion of confusing in your face with perhaps more ripples in the forehead...However, be careful not to go overboard and display anger, sadness or fear...just a little more emotion in the face. Perhaps let up on the smile or the corners of your mouth a bit..I have sat here trying to display confusion and it seems harder to portray with looking angered or saddened....Hmmm, hand placement seems to work here...how many time we do become confuse and throw our hands to our heads? Almost always...

Overall, I do like how you made a small series out of these 3 photos....work on some alternative facial body language along being sure to gain some lighting to direct some attention to the face to say, hey, I'm confused...I hope that I have helped and have enjoyed these.

Very nice work!
I love the lighting, contrast and sharpness.
Any notes on the setup you used?
Congratulations on a job well done.

This shot is truly great. The very soft lighting and the detail you captured in the face in very nice.

Details please :)

I'm truly impressed on how much your work has improved in the last year
