He's handsome both then and now, but is it healthy to remember yourself as you were instead of working on who you are now?

It doesn't look as if the subject is looking at the photo, it's too tilted. A real shame about the ugly shadows from the glasses frames. I think I'd have liked a much tighter crop, and following the top-left to bottom-right diagonal so he is looking down to the right. The first self portrait is great! I would have knocked out a lot of the extreme shadows in PS to make the background appear black. 6

I like how you captured the look of nostalgia on his face as he looks, not so much on the picture, but through it, to another place and time.

Great expression. A little washed out, but the composite and facial expression is just great.

I like the idea, and the lighting creates a certain mood to the photo. High marks.

I like the concept :) I think the contrast could have been increased a bit more.

I really like this portrait - would have preferred to avoid the shadow of the spectacles.
