This is quite a goofy self portrait. I liked the smarmy smile and background. I hope someone gets a kick out of it!

no one else would pose for me.

Not quite the arrogant look. but a very nice capture nevertheless. Bumping up.

I don't get "arrogance" from your model's expression -- I get friendly :)

Would like a bit less background (perhaps blurry??) Great informal feel, excellent pose and expression, perhaps a bit more light on the side of his face.

Good concept, with a pose, shooting angle, and composition that work well. Lighting is too harsh; more specifically, the shadowed side of his face is too dark in comparison to the sunlit side. A reflector or maybe even a fill flash would have helped reduce the contrast.

I like the black and white, just wish the whole face was visible

the attribute of the title seems apparant..... detail in the shadow is less so. However quite a good candid and submission for this challenge. I enjoy this shot and would not necessarily care to meet this fellow.

Nice image though it might be better with a little contrast boost.

I like the B&W tones and the wide angle look, but I find the lighting too harsh. I don't really like the dark shadow on the right side of the face. Also, wish the background were blurred to avoid distraction.
