Anyone want to give me some comments on these following photo's, took them in my bedroom with a flash from right and one from front.
Converted to black&white, and did a little dodge & burn

Thanks in advance :)

I would like to see light in both eyes, I do really enjoy them though. I think that they would have more impact if there was light in both eyes, not saying you have to fill them with equal amounts of light, b/c that would lose your effect, just cut the ratio betwen light and dark down a bit.

Light in both eyes is not necessary for my viewing tastes, I like the dark hollow socket effect. :)

Pictures are creatively lit and it's nice to see something different from you like this. Good Stuff.

Slightly disturbing and as Joey stated, freaky! Great, leave them just as they are. I like the look of insanity :)) Although, if these are just normally portraits of you, sorry and you can't have my address! And, anyway, I live too far away from you to be real scared, but just in case...I am moving house soon...

"the neighbors all said he was a quiet guy...kept pretty much to himself. little did they know..."

isn't that the description given for almost every serial killer? ;-)

Okay! stop, you are scaring me now. I didn't really say those things about him, I was quoted out of context. Think I'll just hide somewhere for a while.
