i don't know anything about portraiture, so i'm using your image as a guinnea pig as to what i think i would or wouldn't do in this situation, as well as what i notice and get out of your image.

i have an idea as to what you where after capturing the reflection (i tried something very similary, but it just didn't work out). i think the motion blur and soft focus take away from being able to see who you really are. i think in portraits, the elements of the image should all support the subject, and not provide unnecessary distractions. while the mouse & keyboard convey who you are, the wall & door behind most definitely distract. i think this might work from a slightly different perspective where the image isn't so evenly divided in the middle. this is certainly one to revisit. nice effort!

great capture. i like the lighting, colors, and composition. there are a couple spots that look like they could be handled in editing, but nothing major. some may complain about an imbalance in the lighting, but i don't have any problem with it as is. really like how you seem to have caught the essence you were looking for.

nice work. composition, expression, focus, all work well. the lighting, though, seems to have washed out some of the tonality in your face, which is a shame.

this looks like fun, and it looks like something that would be cool to be able to do at the drop of a hat. i do think it would work better if you had matched the tones in the printed face to the actual face. nice work with the lighting.

while this is an interesting image, i can't help but feel your reflection should be a bit more prominent. how? i have no clue. i would like to try this, but i think i would hunt for a different perspective. nice try, though; i'm sure this wasn't easy to pull off, as is.

given the circumstances, i can't imagine anything more challenging than pulling off this shot. for what it's worth, i wouldn't change a thing. congrats, blessings, and have a 10--on the house!

pose and expression are fine, focus is a bit soft. lighting is ok, but could stand a bit more contrast. line through the head is a bit distracting. placement would be stronger if more to the right.
