Yes, the extreme angle without eye contact makes him look, dare I say, like a cadaver.

This image has lovely tone and light. I'm less keen on the angle and crop - it feels close and confined without really becoming intimate. I think some eye contact would have made it more personal. Mostly I just find myself wondering why he's at such an extreme angle. It looks like you've got a real talent for portraiture, though.

A nice image but IMHO it looks a little soft around the nose and mouth. I know the eyes are sharp and I like the composition but I would have liked to see the rest sharper. I find the lack of focus in these areas a little distracting, especially once you've noticed them.

Good, but maybe a different contest.

This is a very elegant shot. The only things I would change would be to clone out the hot pixel and crop the image a few pixels higher to eliminate the tip of the leaf.
