I'm not really a secretive person. As a writer, I make my living by communicating. I love speaking to large groups. I thrive on being the centre of attention.

But when it comes to having my picture taken...I just freeze, even when I'm taking the photo myself.

This reluctance is what I hoped to show in this shot.

Dramatic, but not my cup of tea. Would be more effective if the eye were better lit.

After voting on dozens of overly lit images, yours is a nice refreshing change. I like the minimal use of light and the deep shadows. I hope this does well in the challenge for you.

Excellent quality of light. I wish there was just a tad more shadow detail around the left eye. Still, well done.

Technically well done. The eyes are the key to emotional expression and emotion detection. The might have been some benefit in not looking directly into the camera-the averted gaze of deceit. Otherwise, good work.
