I don't usually like showing my mug on the internet...it's just weird. I'm not too good with protraits let alone self protraits, so I figure this would be a good time as any to get some feedback.

No real adjustments here, it was a dark photo to being with in black and white. Made the brightness a bit higher and that's about it.

I just don't know about trying to take artistic appealing photos...I rather be taking photos out landscapes and whatnot.

That's a gun I'm holding by the way.

I think I would have liked to have seen this with a little less contrasting and a few more gray hues thrown in there. It seems like an interesting picture, but because its so dark, its hard to figure it out.

Can't see what is on the right, but the way you've reduced this to almost a line drawing is really interesting. would like a little bit of white in the upper-right corner to feel more balanced, but overall this is really nice!

interesting shot. good use of dramatic lighting and contrast. the thing in front of your face though is bothering me cause I can't figure out what the heck it is. I like how you were able to get some highlights in your hair too. overall a very nice shot. I'm not usually fond of these kinds of shots, but this one appeals to me.

I'm told my monitor isn't the best in the world, but perhaps in this case, that's a good thing becuase I like how I am seeing very little more than black and white (in other words, few shades of grey). I do wish I could see what you're holding though.

Hey,
Don't do it! OK, this subject turns me of just a bit, but anyways. I think this one has too much contrast. I might have tried more black and grayish. It's too harsh as it is.

Quite extreme but I like the high contrast you've used.

I really love this dramatic coloration. It's really arty and interesting.
