Hermosa fotografía,
La expresión es conmovedora y en blanco y negro esta excelente.
Felicitaciones, una de mis favoritas.

The streak of light is like a knife blade and adds to the drama of nervous sweat. It's like a prisoner of war shot. It's quite unnerving. Excellent job! ~ Lonnit

Love the shot Andrew and I agree the light streak leads away from what on it's own is a very strong image. Of course, light does not always do what we tell it to! Yvonne

Mesmerizing self portrait! Beads of sweat beg to tell a story! I don't think the streak of light is needed, but if it were slightly subdued, it might be better --- just a thought. Either way it's an outstanding image, IMO! Shu

Nice self portrait. I don't know where you photographed this but, the it gives me the feeling it's taken some kind of commercial location? Underground, under a tunnel?

Marvelous self-portrait...I can almost feel the heat. Although I like the b & w, I wonder how it looks in color, especially if it was taken in late-day light, which would accentuate the warmth.

WOW. Great shot Andrew.
Very nice B&W self portrait. Sharp and clean (if you know what I mean. :) )
I like a lot the different tones of grays. Your look makes one think about what you were thinking in that moment. Congratulations for getting a not common SP that evocates a lot of emotions.
Keep up the great work you are doing (both at the PCs and photography).
Un sincero agradecimiento por eso.
