A Self-portrait of sorts.

Might be a little dark (I'd like the whites of the eyes to be pure white) and wide but I like it, very Gothic.

Thanks for the critique.

I had done a full eye mask before but didn't like the looks of it. However, you can judge for yourself - I tried to implement your comments into the image below.

Cool shot
I like the second version, the little bit of red in the eyes is nice, adds character to the eyes.

I think it's somewhere b/t the two. The first is too dark, the second, the eyes are far too bright in relation to the rest of the image. Trying bringing up the overall brightness of the image, then increasing contrast.

Good call brmill, I always forget the simple stuff like contrast. This is my favorite of the three.



Not sure if the eyes still don't go with the image, I went back to the pupil mask for this one so they are the same image as the face.
