Love the mood here - what gorgeous eyes too! I like the lighting on everything but your arm - there it seems a bit blown out. But hey - the arm isnt what cathced my eye. Your eyes and emotion do.

Great lighting and sharpness, but the angle is a little odd? Still a nice photograph.8

I love the lighting and composition of this shot. The catchlights are great too. Good focus on the face and I think the black background works well to highlight the subject.

This looks like a Country Album cover. Nice self portrait.

Love the lighting. I like that your background is something other than a backdrop. It adds nicely to the composition without being distracting. Well done :)

Nice SP ! The composition is good and the pose too. I just think the lighting is a little harsh. Good luck !

Good job.

I like the pose and the lighting. Nice facial expression too and great focus and DOF. The leather sofa part is distracting though, maybe if you had burned out the highlights there it would have faded more into the black background.
Still, the more I look the more I like. 7

Great lighting. Good expression - 8 from me

Great image - love the lighting. The reflection off the couch (or whatever that is coming off the top of your elbow) is a little distracting. Nice job!

Man - I love the lighting and the general composition, but the cropping makes your arm seem disconnected. Still-- the color processing is terrific also. Gotta give it an 8.

I like this. Interesting pose and perspective. Even the brightness of the light is nice. Are you in a leather chair? At first I thought of a car ( you know men and their cars) but then I figured a nice chair. Pretty eyes. I wish you were looking a bit more toward the camera, although the wistful expression works here.
