Ok, I love this one. Every time I look at your profile, it jumps out at me. The intensity in the eyes is so captivating. I get drawn in every time. Amazing shot and pp work.

Whoa, I just connected the image to the photographer. I had no idea this was you! I've seen your other self-portraits before, and I never would have guessed that you could pull off the Satanic Monk look so well!

OMG! This was one of my favorites of the challenge!! Should have ended up with a 7 score, IMO. The mood you have captured is amazing. It is very high contrast and is an awesome picture!! Self portraits are not the easiest ones to take because you can't see what you are doing. Not only did the picture turn out great but you also rec. a high score and got in the top 20. What else can I say? I worship the ground you walk on. LOL The rain drops on top of the hood is a great touch.

Good contrast...and your "Inner Demon" looks frightening. This would be a great portrait photo as well.

If you'd been asian and covered most of your face with a scarf you would have won the challenge!!!! Joking aside, that's a great shot and a good expression on your face. 7

Excellent, the color, expression and light vs dark is spot on with what you intended to portray (title). 9

I like the emotion shown in the photo...contrast is spot on and I like the water drops on the subject's hood. Reminds me of Warcraft III.

Nicely handled.

Love the eyes in this shot. Certainly an evil looking pose/expression. Not sure the tones match the feel of the image though. Still a shot I'd be proud to have in my portfolio.
