I wish the shot weren't quite so dark because I think the idea works. The glint in your right eye helps, though I think too much detail has been lost to the shadows.

Very cool! I like the lighting. Did you try this in b&w? I wonder what that cig looks like in b&w. Well done.

Interesting fill light...looks like a monitor or tv. I like the hat and cigar together as props. Nice image.

Wow, great lighting. Maybe it's just me, but you remind me of Clint Eastwood in this photo. Love it - 10 from me.

You did an excellent job on this self-portrait...it has a gritty, earthy feel...this is one of the best portraits here.{maybe it's the cigar, but whatever it is, it works}

Great shot! Really like the lighting on this one.

WOW! This reminds me of an old detective style comic / movie. I'm amazed by the detail you've captured here in your face plus the perfect exposure on the lit cigar makes this a perfect 10 in my book.
