 Dont worry, I´m not describing the state of my own mind. Just found it a good title and fitting the mood of the image. Besides I live in Iceland which is the land of darkness and shadows in the winter.

Editing:
Levels - grayscale conversion through the green chanel - dodging of the eyes and healing brush on a scrach on the nose - overlay layer - luminosity layer with a litle gaussian blurr - noise filtering

Virkilega flott lýsing.. Ég held að myndin hefði komið betur út án þess að hafa vegginn á vinstri hönd. Þessir hvítu flekkir skera of mikið..
Notaðaru vasaljós fyrir lýsinguna?
Samt finnst mér þetta vera flott mynd og dálítið gáttaður á því að hún ahfi ekki farið yfir 6.
En hvað veit ég;)

The eyes get your attention and keep it. Excellent job. I think the stuff on the left is unnecessary and could be cropped, but the attention on the face is so strong that I can't complain :).

Wonderful lighting. Intense (and somewhat unsettling) expression. 8

Returning for comment. I'm not sure what you are leaning against...am finding it distracting. Good capture of facial expression.

Are you going to jump through my monitor and kill me? 'cause that's the vibe I'm getting!
