I thought this was a pretty cool looking pic, but please tell me what you all think. I am new in photography and I am trying to figure out what is good and what isnt......
thanks

Interesting maybe - good, bad or indifferent (in non-technical terms) that is up to opinion. If you think it is good then it is.

It's a bit out of focus and kind of crooked (which you can fix in post)
It's definitley an interesting pic and I like the concept I just think the eyes need to be more sharply focused!

Doesn't seem quite sharp enough to me... not sure how you managed this look using f/5.6? Did you sharpen or unsharpen some of it in post production but not other parts?

Also the green seems to have worked its way on to the skin above the eyes and on to the bridge of the nose and forehead?

Its an interesting shot but I think it confusses my eyes a little to look at it.

Sorry, but this isn't working for me. The lighting is harsh, it's oof, and the green is too much and as someone else mentioned, bleeding onto the skin above the eyes.

Not what I would call 'good'. It looks like she ate the incredible hulk for dinner! Not sure what you were trying to accomplish with the photo, but it's a totally unnatural green eye color.

I would agree with this. I think a nice b/w would be good for a close up, IMHO.
