Fun and expressive self portrait! Good detail and lighting which is something I've never really been able to manage in a self portrait.

Comment by Louis:
The framing is good, nice and unique. Not a lot of portraits are successful when it's a tight shot filling more than 80% of the frame, but this one is, probably because of the way it's framed, and the look on your face ("I don't take myself too seriously"). The light is great, almost "Rembrandt" lighting, nice and soft. I usually prefer well-defined catchlights in the eyes -- I can see your softbox or whatever it is, and I'd prefer to see just very bright, well-defined catchlights. There's a bit of detail degradation as a result of smoothing or something, on your neck and the right cheek, and that's a bit of an issue. Other than that, a great portrait. Nicely done. 8

Comment by Abstract:
This is an excellent shot.
May be thinner "black" border could have helped...but as Lydia has mentioned, underrated nonetheless.

Very ominous shot! The lighting def helps the scary factor. It appears to have a bit of a motion blur to it though.

Like the light and the coloring of this photo. Nice Right eye left eye contrasty thing. Don't sneak into my room looking like that please.

I like your title. The mask overall seems to be too out of focus.
