I like the idea here, too. I also agree with Renee, the wood backing kind of detracts from the hair. Maybe if this were done in the open, the effect would be stronger.

Neat idea with the fan. Great self-portrait! I think a white background would have really set this photo off. The wood grain in the back kind of takes away from it because it blends with your hair. If we could distinguish your hair easier, it would add much more interst!

More contrast between the hair and the background would have helped a lot. 5

I really like the concept of this shot, but I'm not crazy about the background - it draws my eyes away from the subject. Perhaps a high contrast background, such as white would have been effective.

I hate it when the elevator falls like that. Nice use of light, maybe a lighter background would have gave it more POP.

Not sure about the lighting, but this is original. Good job.
