Really diggin' #3.

#1 is good also but I think the flash / light source is a bit harsh and I'm not sure that the fingertips would be bruised as opposed to the knuckles.

Nice series and I like your recent adventures. Keep it up!

Should they be desaturated more? For example:

 

[kundalini]

Going back to #3, I like the grittiness of the colors and skin tones. There is that hot spot on your shoulder that could be lessened, but otherwise I think the tone you have set is right for the images. But I'm just a novice........

Technically these are the best shots I've seen you post on here hands down. They are nice and sharp - something I think has been lacking in some of your other posts. There are some hotspots from the flash but I dont think they are all that distracting. I like overall mood you created with the lighting and makeup. Great job and creative idea.

i prefer the desaturated one

agree with the comments so far, your self portrait work keeps getting better by the day.....refining the technicals will improve them enormously and I mean that in terms of lighting and post production. There is another tog on here (Rabieshund) who has done similar set-ups, top quality work.

Thank you all very much!!

#6 has been added since my last view. Well done, I like this one as well.

Again, my preference would be to knock down the (3) hot spots on your nose (#6) and the spot on your tounge. The line down your nose and across your upper lip look fine and add to the overall IMO. I do like the way the beads of sweat glisten on your chest, but would think sweat would ne prevalent elsewhere as a matter of bodily functions (forehead, tops of shoulders, etc). Your processing is improving immensely.
