Conversion was done with the MikeW action but there was a fair amount of tinkering both before and after the action was used...

That crop better? The first crop was intended for MySpace where the thumbnails are only sized by the top edge, so longer = bigger

Funny enough I was going to say that I like the negitive space. Have you tried it with more black at the top? ie put the eyes somewhere between half and the lower 1/3 with added black at the top of the image? this can work very well some times...

Maybe the negative space would work better if it wasn't just vertical?

Like this...

I don't see the point of it tbh in that photo, it's just plain back.. in the other example Morgon gave, atleast there was some detail in the space...

Not before he changed it, it didn't

Anyway, you made me want to take a self portrait, so I setup my new studio light with softbox for a side lighting shot, here is the outcome..

Could do with a touch more contrast imo - which you appear to have just edited in, prefer that

Just realised as well, I hadn't mentioned I didn't have use of my SB-600 at the time (it's batteries are being treated to a trip round Australia currently) so that was taken with just the on camera flash on my D70

tid, you might want to put an apostrophe in the word "we're" in your sig, before you incur the demonic wrath of the grammar nazi elite.
