Self portrait

Not going to divulge why i made this, curious as to your thoughts and how it makes you feel to help me see if i hit the mark.

It is a self portrait.

The water over the eye actually distracts me. It makes it hard to connect with the photo because it is sort of there and sort of not so I keep looking at it thinking it will clear up. I think I'd like to see a little grittier processing done on this, but only you would know if that is appropriate for the subject or look you're aiming for.

i combined it with another image i shot, better?

I like the first photo best. In the 2nd, the straight line water drip below your right eye just looks very fake for some reason. Overall, wonderful image. Nice balance of shadows/highlights. Very blue eyes. I think it's a winner
