It is not something I like but interesting enough. I thing the first one is best. The other ones are lacking something - don't know what. And #3 is clearly over exposed. My name is Henk. and I believe "It is all in the eye of the beholder....."

There's something strange about the way the curvature in the forehead presents in #1... can't avoid feeling like it's an eye superimposed on an ear 5D and too much glass. Mamiya 645E.

I like it. #2 just doesn't hold my interest. #3 and 4 suffer from overexposure to the degree that it's distracting. You can achieve the same kind of feeling and keep the exposure within range, just requires some better lighting ratios. Digital cameras don't overexpose gracefully so, while it might have been successful had you used film, the limitations of digital's latitude are too obvious here.
