Nice idea, but too dark. The eye is hard to see here

Great shot, the angle with the light captures this perfectly good use of light

Seems like the negative space should have been on the white instead of the black. I like the shading on the eye.

I like the hair over the eyelid, and the catchlight on the eye is good. Only negative is the vast amount of negative black space on the right.

Awesome angle. I REALLY like this photo. So simple yet it says a whole lot. I give it a 9!
