So im looking for some criticism and critique. What could be done better in these shots, what could be changed etc. As always any advice and commentary is greatly accepted, if you think the photo is garbage, I appreciate that to. Let me know what you think.

Interesting shot, for me the 2nd one works.  The others I find the back ground semi distracting.  What's funny is that I have a mask I bought years ago in Venice Italy that has the same finish as this mask of yours.  

Thank you for making PhotographyTalk.com your photography community of choice.

I also like #2 the best.  But I would not have framed it so tight, and I would have the main light placed a little higher.

#2 for me is the best.  Creepy looking mask, but cool

Thanks for the comments everyone. The shots were taken on my kitchen table, so I see what you all mean. I'm working on setting up a makeshift studio in the near future. Including whitebox and a black box + white and black backdrops. Hopefully then I'll be able to put together better photos. 


Thanks Kelly for suggesting about the main light to be a bit higher. I was experimenting with some light positions and I'll definitely give it another try.

Light stands can be fairly cheap, and get the light a lot higher up than a tripod -

the first photo is over-exposed
the third is under-underexposed
the second is just right.
second is the right pick for me.
