In The Eye Of The Beholder

Too much of something can be a bad thing. I find the contrast excessive in this case. Is it because the image was initially over-exposed?

I also wonder he effect my have been more dramatic if you also cropped out half of the face instead of part of one eye.

I find it distracting the way your arms are set. It doesn't seem natural and is a cause for distraction (e.g. your right arm leaning on the chair and our left arm not seeming to know where it should be. Your arms are not conveying the same message as your head and body.

The other distraction is the cropping of the feet.

That being said, exposure, dof, lighting, contrast, and all the technical aspects of the photo are spot on in my opinion.

The burning tool is used a little too abusively for my taste. I like the subject and composition though.

Grrr.... Why couldn't I come up with a good idea for this challenge?!

I find the two-color background too distracting. Has shaving always been so painful for you? :)

Although I like the shot angle and expression, the lens flare is very distracting.

Well composed and balanced. I like the tone chosen. I think a bit less depth of field might have enhanced the focus on your piercing gaze

Great composition and pose. I just find it a bit distracting the tall grass in front of you.
