My mind was in a critical condition at the moment.. my eyes are just saying desperation!
Coverd my self with all the black clothes i could find in my little dorm-room :)Took about 20 photos and all the others where out of focus.. and yes I am trying to make my self better and I hear you when you tell me my pics ar blurry!! But this one wasn't blurry i think so i croped it then i lowerd the saturation, midtones and resized it, that's about it.

This is a good shot. I like the angle, the pose and the crop. Like your title says, it's all in the eyes!
And you have great eyes which are clearly highlighted by everything else being black.
I love the emotion in your eyes and face ,also like that only your face is out of the shadow. However I find the lighting rather flat and harsh. This would have worked great as an even more low key image. You could have increased the contrast a bit with curves. Maybe it would have been better (I'm no expert. I personally like the it's a little on the soft side, fits the mood.
I like the angle on this. Would prefer the eyes to be looking elsewhere though. Needs a little more focus, but the lighting is really good, and the overall mood is apparent. Nice.
Thanx so much for that :) just what i needed to hear.. And with the blurr it is probably bouth my and the cameras problem.. Trying my best keeping still :) I'll get better with time.. :)
First off, excellent photo! The low score is only because you didn’t even come close to meeting the challenge. If you want to score well you kind of have to meet the challenge, usually in an obvious way. In the portrait challenge this would score a 6 or 7 from me.
What I like about the image: it conforms to the rule of thirds, very well lit, I love the eyes and the way they look off out in the darkness, and the black background accents your face perfectly.
What I don’t like; you said this one wasn’t blurry, but it’s sure not crisp either. I’m assuming this is a self portrait, in that case, it’s hard to focus because the camera sets the focus when you start the timer and not when you are in front of the camera. Thus, you need to set up a prop where you’ll be to get the focus right, or use manual focus. Or it might be the camera, do you have problems getting images in focus normally? Also, in the title you are going for sorrow, but the image doesn't say sorrow to me. You look more optimistic or in deep thought. For sorrow, try looking down.
Look at the bright side though; you have the 6th highest scoring image ever on DPC with your camera!!!
Image is a little soft/out of focus and she looks a little green. I'm not sure about the composition, I think I'd prefer to see more of the head than the negative space in the bottom left corner.
