If I were taking this, I might be concerned he/she was thinking I looked like dinner....that look is a bit freaky....
Nice capture. As far as the processing...I might be tempted to tone down the bright BG a bit, bring up the shadows on the subject a little and add some contrast and a subtle amount of saturation. Still nice image Bryan.

Bryan,
You have got a great pose here, I think a little more selective processing would make this even better.
I agree with Kurt on darkening the background a little, I also think there is a slight magenta cast.

I feel like prey looking at this!
Kurt has some good suggestions on improving an already good image.

HI Bryan,
Great look - and I'll parrot Kurt's comment about it being almost a bit freaky (in a good way). I agree with most of the comments above and point out one further thing - if this were mine I'd definitely tone down the bush in the lower right corner - that really tugged on my eye.
Cheers...
Brad
