Nice B&W! Love the placement in the photo.

Very nicely executed. The half lit face immedietely holds the eyes and the negative space adds up so much to this coposition. The twist in the eyes adds so much fun- overall a great 10

LOL, cute title. This is really a great shot but I would like to be able to see you're whole face.

Very cool lighting but most of all I like the use of negative space here. Nicely done. BB

I like. Your eyes "jump"

I don't like how half of the face is ocmpletely hidden due to shadows. I think it would be great if the shadow wasn't there.

I love the lighting as well as the composition. But just wondering how this would have looked in the portrait mode, with the position of hands and face as it is, at the bottom, and the whole frame as negative space.

Alot of times a great picture gets kinda demoted because of a poor title, but you really added to this one with your title. Love the idea, love the exectution, and I really like the title... sometimes I feel the same way.

Probably my favorite.
