A very nice and striking self portrait woth a super low key lighting. While the red has been too overly saturated, this is a minor adjustment to return this image to the credit it deserves. Bumping up on nice composition.
Compsition: 10 I like how you gave the extra space
Techinical: 7 good use of light I just didnt like the pink or reddish lipstick maybe a more subtle color I think would have made me like it more
Challenge: 10
Appeal: 10
Overall: 9
Nice pose and great use of the selective-desaturation on the red, it really stands out. Good work! Oh, what do I see here a hot-pixle just above the head (PS: in a member challenge you can clone that out, FYI).
Returning for comment. Why not titled? Good capture of facial expression. Use of selective saturation seems random and might not add as much to the shot as you intended. With regard to composition, you might try leaving less negative space on top, so that your eyes are in the top third of the frame. Lighting is good.
