The glow is really harsh. I think it would have been better if you defined his face by using his natural skin tone color.

Great idea, maybe a bit more burning in of the mouth area? The reflection in the glasses, not too sure if it is a softbox or something, spoils it. If the eyes had been in sharper focus with no reflection in the glasses it would have had a lot more impact

A bit too much processing to me.

Hmm not sure what to make of this one. Not visually appealing on the whole because of the washout, but you gotta love the attention to those cool glasses.

Interesting take on the challenge. Love the glasses and eyes. It probably will get some smacks for the high aspect of the light, but I like it.

I like the style here. This style was dangerous, it will either make or break you. I bet the people that like it love it, and the people that don't like it, hate it. I love it, so GL.

A very interesting image. The visual weight is almost exclusively the eyes. For me, and I have to think that negative response is what you may be expecting, the high key is so strong that there is nothing to look at except the eyes. The image becomes static for me because there is nothing else to explore in the image. Kudos for trying something original, and without having seen all the images yet, I bet yours will be one of the most unique. JMO.

Good contrast, nice closeup. For me a bit green on the fringe of the petals.
