this is a strong image. the lighting is nice, almost like it was painted on to certain areas of the photo. only a couple of things bother me - the fact that the chains seeps into the border is kind of destracting, and also the loss of detail in the chain in the upper right corner. i'd rather see the chain stream out of the image instead of bunching up in the corner like that. the light reflecting off of the chain up there seems to become just a jumble of white specks and it detracts from the strong subject. a very good effort that could just use a little cleaning up. 7.

I totally disagree. However, this may be my favorite picture so far, so keep doin' your thing! Everyone's got their key to life, and although yours may work for you it doesn't necessarily mean it's true or it will work for everyone else. Wrong message, great photo. Really love the lighting and the shine on the chain and the vignetting effect (did you use a flashlight or something?)

Comment by Gracious:
I think a portrait should reveal some character, or emotion of the model, by showing expression in eyes or other facial features. Did your picture accomplish that? Even though you chose to only show a portion of your face, you did choose the most expressive.

artistic/creativity? slight

Technical?fine

Overall? Good macro of your eye, but would prefer to see more.
