Hey Philip! :hug:

(Finally have a bit of free time between my studies to make some critique on your latest works. I'm so sorry I've been terribly remiss in doing so.)

In looking at this self-portrait, I find myself wondering what exactly is moving through your eyes; what thoughts dwell just beneath the surface of what could be both a brooding or melancholy stare. Makes me think; "What is he looking for? What does he want? What thoughts are stirring; waiting to be made known?"

Also when looking at this picture, I can also see many other emotions flickering within the details, in taking a closer look, in gazing at it for a while. Deeper than just a surface "look". There is a smoldering intensity as well in the posture of the body; an almost defensiveness as if challenging the viewer for intruding on perhaps an interrupted moment.

The droplets of water contrasting with the features half hidden in shadows gives this picture a great texture and also makes me think "Why does he hide in the shadows?" There is something there to be discovered; it's simply left up to the viewer's imagination.

(And that's just one of perhaps so many I owe you. ;)) Hope I've captured the right feeling/mood/perception of this picture. Definitely going into my faves! Sorry this critique was so long; suppose I'm making up for lost time.

this picture has a very interesting expression, although i havnt quite been able to put my finger on it
almost sad or regretful eyes...
which transfers the emotion into the viewer...

as always the real meaning of a photograph is up to the viewer, but i think the emotions you see in it hold the most weight
