Self-portrait? Late in evening cause you have the 5 o'clock shadow. A little too dark, especially on your right side. Nice background. Looks like someone took a picture of your office chair and submitted it also. Like this better with more light. But as is it's a 7. PTL

heheheh yeah this guy's a dull boy. good work. nice little rectangle in the eyeballs, matches all the other rectangles in the background. ten for you.

I'd have made this a tighter, vertical crop, so that more of his face and less of the "work" papers show, to emphasize the close-up effect. I like the lighting and expression.

Yikes, thats scary!! You need a shave.

This individual definetly needs some play time. Very effective use of lighting and camera angle to match the mood of the model. Good pic!

OK, skipping over the obvious comment that this isn't macro (and isn't particularly close up either) I'm not sure the lighting works. LHS of picture is a lot darker but not so dark that it looks intentional. Background is distracting and would be better more out of focus.

so, how many comments have you got about this not being a macro? ;)
challenge -- met. although it would've seemed much more close up and personal in my opinion if he was looking into the camera.
technical -- overall very muted colors, maybe that's what you were going for. dark shadow on the left is ok, since the eye still gives structure to the darkness (does that make sense?)
composition -- i don't like how he seems cropped off just under the chin. did you try a portrait format? that would still allow the background but maybe wouldn't make the crop quite as awkward.

Not quite close enough for me for this particular challenge.
