    One thing you can do is reverse the shot in photoshop and the photo in a mirror aspect is not so noticeable because the words are no longer backwards.

    I like this shot - cool!
    To my eye it looks like some parts on the face (forehead, bridge of nose) are a bit overexposed. Aside from that - very nice!

    This is the stronger photo for me now that the face brightness has been toned down. Nice sharp eye!

    the former , and I find using the manual focus makes portraits a lot easier, auto focus has a tendency to focus on the eye lashes or on the nose too much.
