I really like the high contrast in this and the frightened look goes well with that. I have never seen the video in question, but Im guessing it would explain the pencil.
Composition: I love your placement in the frame. It is very interesting. Good use of rule of thirds.
Lighting/Exposure: Though the message you are trying to convey comes through, it is just a bit on the contrasty side for me and a wee bit dark overall.
Pose: If it weren't for the pose and setup here, I would be a bit lost as to what you were trying to convey. As it is, this is just a perfect example of a re-creation metaphor. Your expression is perfect. Very nicely posed!
Suggestions for Improvements: There are a couple of hot pixels here. One by your hand, three in the chin area, and one in the eye area. Dunno if you saw them :) A generally lighter image which really comes down to personal preference and lighting choices. Again, just a tad too dark for me.
I quite LOVE incubus, amazing band, and they have such meaning behind their songs. Great imitation of the music video, i really like the look in your eye as well, very strong.
I usually tend to prefer black and white, but in this case, I believe you nailed it. The color and the lighting are spot on. I love the dark look and the color really adds to this. Fantastic work!
You look so frightened, so unsure. You seem to want to use the pencil to remake yourself, but don't know where to begin or how to proceed so you're paralyzed for the moment. At least that's how I interpret this. The light is excellent, especially the way it hits your hand and the pencil. Excellent work!
Lighting is perfect and I'm happy you kept it in color. The expression for the occasion couldn't be better but what I particularly like is that there are things happening here that leave me in thought. Why the pencil and what are you doing with it? Are you looking in a mirror? What is the purpose? It's all good!
The only thing that is a little irritating is a little white pixel over your left eye. You may not have caught it before posting.
