Nice desat. self portrait. I like the negative space and cropping/composition.

I like your framing, but not the selective color. I also like the gradient of your background.

Eyes look red (and a little demonic) on my monitor. Good composition though.

I like these sorts of partial portraits a lot. I'm not sure about the brown eye, though. I think I would prefer this in pure duotone.

My first impression of this is that it is a very clean, eye-pleasing image.

Compositionally, it has some interest with the "flowing" left to right, and that being almost, but not quite, exactly "set up" by the lighting (?) in the background.

I also like the "stacking" of the grays. It gives it a graduated feeling, and makes it feel more stable on teh bottom of the shot.

The only "nitpick" I can find, is that it is a bit "flat" in subject. No pun intended. There is little or no feeling of depth to it. Whilst that may have very well been your intention (and I honestly think it sorta works here), the voter's may have been a bit put off by that (but with a score of 6.1ish, it's nothing to be ashamed of. :) )

Good work, and best wishes in future challenges.

I'm not sure that I like the background brighter than the main subject (which I DO like).

Could use some dark balance in the lower half. Very similar to Kiwiness entry in the abstract challenge.
