I like to see eyes more than noses - no insult to your nose :) Fully including the eye would have helped me like this more. 6

I love the high key! Monochrome works so well here, and you focused on the eyes very effectively. Good shot! 9

The eyes are great, but the nose ring either needs to be there or not be there to really make this one great. Not slamming the nose ring; it just distracts from the pic as is, and a good portrait ALWAYS emphasizes the eyes, in my opinion. Good luck! 7

I hope this didn't hurt as much as it looks like it did.... 8

Long Exposure

Definitely different. I do think a shirt version would have impressed me more - no insult intended, it just seems that the subject of the shot is the chest, and I don't think that's what you meant. The camera just hides the face enough to make it confusing, which leaves the chest and arms as the easiest thing to look at. I mean all this constructively; hope I'm not insulting.

Diffident Self

Excellent subject focus, but the wall color bothers me. Don't mean to insult your walls. Somehow it just pulls my eye away from you. 7

Maybe just a touch too dreamy, but I like the effect. 7

Somehow keeping the cable off of your face would have improved this a bit for me. 7

I love the concept. I think the lighting is a touch harsh, but it seems to fit the theme. 8
