| I quite like the darkness, although I can't help feeling that I'd like to see some sort of highlight somewhere in the frame, just to set it all off. |

| The darkness kinda works on this one - even if not intentional. |

| I also have to use the timer and it can be difficult! I also agree that this may be a tad dark, but I'm slowly starting to like it. It reminds me of the old oil paintings that are dark because the artist worked by candle light. |

| Nice fade in look. I hate focusing when using the timer. Good shot none the less. |

| I've tried dark portraits and I just cannot get that look that gives the image a soft lit, moodier feel. I'm afraid this image doesn't do it for me. It's well composed and your look is of someone serious and dedicated ( to what, I don't know :\ ). Looking forward to seeing the rest of that beard. |

| A bit on the dark side - and I see what you mean about the focus - but you do have interesting shapes of composition. You might try placing an object where your eyes are going to be (that can be difficult sometimes) and then setting the focus at that place. It takes some practice, but can work pretty well. Good luck finding your gear! |

I'll agree I would like just a tad more light, but I do find the "coming out of the dark" scene to be very intriguing. Good luck finding your charger!

| I'd agree with the others that this is a tad dark, not always a bad thing mind you, but in my opinion the light, or its lack, is not used in a way that makes this shot do well. The idea is good though, because we see the start of catchlights, and the angle will have created much interest in your face. If you're seeking advice, mine might be to crank the flash up and point that SB800 at the ceiling or the wall opposite to where you want the light to hit you. It might be too soft of an effect for your taste though, judging from your choice here, but others might have been satisfied with the lit result. |

| I like the light just barely touching your left eye. Leaves a lot of mystery :) You are spot on about the focus, but in this shot, I am not bothered by it as much. Probably the shadows but it gives it just the right feeling... like you are emerging from the dark. bwahahhahahahaaa Very emotive 1st shot. |
