Technical: 6, Excellent focus on your eye. That is impressive for a self taken shot
Appeal: 6, Good creative shot

Composition: 4
Technical: 4, I like the tiny eyespot on your left eye, but I think a little more light (from a reflector maybe) to show just a little structure on the left side of your face would help
Appeal: 4, This harsh lighting might also look interesting with a different crop; possibly moving the dark side of your face mostly off the right side of the shot, and leave more black on the left half of the image
