Greetings from the Critique Club
This is a very good self-portrait. It's striking but has a light-hearted feel. I'm not sure if that was the effect you intended but that's how I see it. It could be because I've grown familiar with your self-portraits which generally seem to be done with a certain amount of humor.
The greys have a pleasing, warm tone. I particularly like the warmth and detail of the skin texture that you managed to capture on the left arm. I'd like to see a bit more detail in the left arm. Perhaps a bit more detail to the darks at the top of the frame so that the hair isn't totally absorbed into the black background. I think perhaps a little bit more light on the left side; not so much as to lose the mood--just enough to bring out a bit more of the eye. Looking at it in PS, it is not quite as dark, so it might just be the differences in monitors. What I see on DPC is a startling highlight in the eye but much of the rest of the detail is lost in darkness.
Really, this is a pretty great photo. The things I've mentioned are just nitpicks after carefully perusing the photo for an in-depth critique. I'm not really sure how much I'm supposed to discuss how well the photo met the challenge. When I saw this during the voting, I felt it met the challenge in a creative way but was perhaps a bit challenging for the average voter. I don't think that has much bearing on the quality of the photo, which is quite good.
Thanks for sharing it.

Bondage?
If you are expressing something, it is lost on me. |

| hahaha. your self portraits are the best. i can't image how big the collection you have of them will be in a few years. you'll have to start your own museum or something. i love your experimentation with expressions and moods. they are often meaningful and whimsical at the same time. keep up the great work. |

| hi mehmet...yes this is scary but beyond that....................I love the form and the contrast on the face. From left to right it is almost as if there is a split personality going on, although they both look psychotic. This is most definitely a thought provoking image. Awesome. 8. |
