 Just me after a nice run through of Brownie in virtual photographer. I used a halogen lamp resting on my knee for the side lighting. Some minor burning and dodging to help control shadows as well as selective sharpening and one last run through neat image.

A very nice penetrating study approaching an artistic rendition with its graphical effect. Good detail and good lighting. Bumping up.

your eye looks cool, and I'm glad the line down your face is fuzzy

Composition: 5, I would like the balance of this shot better if the camera cropped out most of the dark side of your face and left more black on the right
Technical: 6, Excellent focus on your eye. That is impressive for a self taken shot
Appeal: 6, Good creative shot
Challenge: 7
Overall Calculated Average Score: 6

Very striking, excellent use of strong light but the eye is just transfixing - superb. 9

interesting shadow effect. Would have liked a little more detail on the side of your face we can see.

If I could only vote once - this would be the one photo I'd vote for! It just stands out.

Nice work with DOF and duotone. I find the composition might be improved on. I think the ear on the left should be in or out.
