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.
