I hate hate hate when people cut off the chin on a person's portrait. I feel you do not have the full impact if you do not have the chin. The colors themselves are pretty wack. The net effect... I like it even if I do not know why exactly. This looks like some sort of human beetle. It evokes an insect feel.

I understand your p-o-v about the chin & would agree w/you normally (in another shot I wouldn't of done this) but, in this image my cropping was intentional in order to force the viewer in closer & be focused on the eyes more dominantly, not the curves shaping the head overall creating a mysterious questioning psychological element that was 'in your face' (kinda like a fish~eye w/o as much distortion). Additionally, the original Polaroid SX-70 image of this image pre-Photoshop was an outtake of the shoot that my Fishnet Face Polaroid SX-70 came from, which was the target result of my vision for that shoot. Check out that image ;)
