Wonderful textures and lighting effects, especially on the upper facial area. For some reason, the very dark area below his jaw tends to draw attention down toward the less 'finished' part of the image. This could work to good advantage as a location for text (as in 'horror novel' cover?)

Verry scarry.
I can't look at it. You deserve an award in some horror category.

I really like the glow in the one eye. Having things spiral out of focus from that eye also adds a really nice creepy touch. However, given the fact that it looks like a human skull, I am a little confused on what the mass hanging below it is. There are a solid set of lines that hint at a hanging jaw, but I can't be entirely certain that that is what it is. If it is a jaw, you may want to try adding a hint of grey to give it a more solid shape, and stretch it back so it looks like it connects a little farther back from the eye (at the moment, it looks like it connects directly beneath the eye). If that isn't what it is, I have no idea what it is...
Really solid work though, that was my only complaint. Using the varying shades of green really pulled off the swamp feel. Hope this helps!
