Look at me

Hi Michael,

I like this photo; I think it is very interesting and really draws my eyes despite the fact that it is in some way gruesome. The focus seems a little soft, and this may be an affect of post processing. If you can sharpen the nose some, without over exaggerating the texture, I think it would help the overall effect.

You have a black void in the bottom right corner, and I think it is not helping the composition. If you are leaving it black to be unsettling, then that is an artistic choice. But, you may want to consider cropping some of the bottom, and perhaps cutting just a bit off the right side. Alternately, you could try mirroring the image horizontally and see how it works.
