I might like just a tiny bit of detail on the opposite side of the face.
Love this.![]()
BTW, is your nose slightly off-center there or is that just an illusion?
Seriously, I agree wtih Tiller. I think you need a little more diffusion material to reign in the specular highlights on your left cheek/forehead, and a reflector image left to bring just a LITTLE fill to the right side of your face.
It's too dark, with too little visual information to hold my interest. I looked at it for about three seconds, then gave up on it. I'm not kidding. Recently, I've been reading some research on how people actually look at photographs, eye movement patterns, contextual clues, and so on. This photo is so lacking in context and information that my brain just goes, "ehhhh." It's just a few, isolated details.

eh, the facial hair kept me entranced for at least several minutes. I miss my beard.
I like it, nice shot and nice beard to. You guys with the beards should have a beard photo contest.
