I believe congratulations are in order, you do the title justice as you look very proud indeed.

Anyway, the shot is so so, not good but not bad either so I gave it a 5. Looks like you got a nice candidate for a model though :o)

I think I know who you are... Graphicfunk? I think I owe you a comment, you have commented on lot´s of my shots and always been helpful and honest and I appreciate it.

Anyway, good shot, I love the tones in this image and usually I don´t like sepia but it works in this photo. Unlike most shots in the challenge this actually tells me a litte bit aboutyourself, you made the portrait very personal and thats good. The lighting is also very good. All in all, a very good job so keep it up.

Good idea, I like just about everything about it and especially the composition but the glare/overexposure of the frame itself I find very distracting and it drags it down a notch. Keep up the good work!

Funny idea, you just need some more creative lighting and this would be perfect, the lighting seems a bit flat and also could use a little contrast boost in photoshop. Anyway, I like it and keep up the good work.

Awesome eyes. I hope you don´t take this the wrong way but when I viewed the thumbnail and before seeing the whole image in this size I immediately thought of Elijah Wood as Frodo. I know the soft focus is intentional but it doesn´t really appeal to me though but everything else I like about this shot, good use of light. Keep up the good work.

Just me

It´s a good shot but IMO the shadow is too harsh and should have lit a little bit on your left side just so you can make out your eye as I at least search that part of your face for features but that is just my personal preference of course and if you like it like this then that is all that matters. I also don´t really like the blue cast of the photo. This is anyway a good shot, way better than most in the competition, keep up the good work.

Cool lighting, I like everything about this shot except maybe and just maybe I would have left a little more negative space around you, especially at the top but again, I like everything about this shot as it is, keep up the good work.

Pretty cool idea, and well executed and it´s got a nice depth because of good lighting. What I am trying to say is that I think it´s technically very well done but it doesn´t really grab at my attention as maybe it could have done but very nice work, I gave it an 8.
