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 :)

I like your framing, but not the selective color. I also like the gradient of your background.

My Secret

First of all, your composition is a 10. I love how you framed yourself. Some detractors are:
-The hotspots on your forehead and nose. It is an easy fix. (use your clone stamp tool at 50% opacity. Use the DARKEN blend mode. Alt-click on an area that is not 'hot' and then go over the hot spot with a large, soft brush.)
-The white balance seems off. The golden color works well for your hair, but is distracting for the whites of your eyes and your skin tone. (Try going into CURVES. Click the white eye-dropper. Now click the eye dropper in the whitest part of your eye and see if that takes the yellow out. OR, you can try using a cooling filter.
-Also, try a little selective unsharp mask on your eye.
-Kill or simplify your frame :)

Of course, this is all just a matter of my opinion! I really do like the potential of this image. 7

This is very cool. I think if you brought down the exposure a touch and increased the contrast a tad, it would have even more impact. 8

White balance seems a bit off, and eyes could be sharper. Your expression gives the photo a great mood with your hat.

Wish you were slightly more to the right of the frame. Wish the horizon was a little more level. However, this photos has drama. The exposure, contrast, and saturation are spot on. One of my faves in the challenge so far. 9
