 I know this type of shot is something of a cliche but nevertheless I wanted to try it. Unfortunately, the only time I had was on a business trip, so I balanced my camera on a chair in my hotel room and lit my face with a flashlight.

Interesting... very minimalist. It definitely has a mood to it. Can't think of any constructive comments I'd give -- lighting, composition, it's all very nicely done.

I hope your other half is joyful! Nice effect here, with the fade to black on the left. I like it.

There are lots of creative portraits in this challenge. This is one of them. It would fit well in the kow-key challenge to. I would have been tempted to title this one "Black and Blue"

Just a little too dark.

I think a portrait should reveal some character, or emotion of the model, by showing expression in eyes or other facial features. Did your picture accomplish that? Yes...so glad you included a good focus on your eye.

artistic/creativity?Creative use of lighting.

Technical?good

Overall? Good moody picture. Good luck!

Great dof, not sure what to think about the blue, but shot is good though.

I think the crop could be better here. I guess you were going for the neg space thing, but based on your face in the frame, I don't think it works too well. Might want to crop out all the black on the right then crop so your nose is centered - more of a portrait orientation rather than a square.
