 I was going for the badass/serial killer look, which it seems I'm very good at, but this is one of the "less evil" one. Yet there's just so much attitude in it, I just love it so much!

This is your truly at his sexiest ;)

Convert to B&W, Levels, and some (very) little spot healing. One 300w direct spot light.

PS: This is my first portrait (self or not) ever.

An image with strong emotional projection and the lighting and background greatly enforce the mood. The expression with corners of mouth leading down along with the expert camera angle create a a highly penetrating visual. Bumping up.

The one long water streak almost makes it look like you're crying. I like the shadowy light, gives it a nice broody feel and drama that compliments the harsh head pose and look. The eye is not completely 'dead' but I think I would have preferred to see it a little wider and/or with a little more light on it to show the eye more.
