the choice of centered crop of the head actually gives this an unbalanced feel - the body seems to be small in comparison to the head - possibly the point but it gives it an odd look

Composition: I really like this angle. I am not fond of the arm there... assuming you are holding the cam? :)

Lighting/Exposure: Catchlights are nice. The light is harsh on the top of your head though.

Pose: I never really go for a shot where both eyes are on an even line. I like to see just a bit of a head tilt.

Suggestions for Improvements: Room between you and the wall behind you. A shot at f4 or f3.5 would have helped the composition, methinks. Perhaps a bit of diffusion for that light :)

A very nice first portrait for this SC. I am feeling like you are a little angry with the expression :)

great shot. Head and beard look wonderful. I might come away from the wall a bit so you dont blend is a much. Other thought is the placement of the left arm (yours) is strange. Are you holding the camera?

Would like a little more detail in the shadows, but a cool shot nonetheless!
