this is another attempt at a self portrait. I messed with it in photo shop and this is what I got out of it. Enjoy.

focus seems spot on and the angle gives the image a more dynamic feel. damn i sound like a prof....

Cool stuff! Focusing- It's probably not harder. Just a whole lot more precise. :)
Yea that I have noticed. I just really got to learn about exposure.Quote:

No distractions, sharp eye ... good work.
About the only thing I can see is you might have over-exposed the face in a couple of spots. The skin appears a bit bright on the bridge of your nose and inner cheek area.
Yea I didn't have anything else to do this afternoon so I did my second attempt at it and it came out pretty good. I see what your talking about on the bridge of the nose and the cheek. Ill see what I can do to fix it. As for the detraction in the other self portrait All I did to fix it was shut the door ;)Quote:

Very cool shot. I tend to hate most mirror shot with the camera in the frame, but this works nicely because the mirror isn't visible as a mirror(if that makes any sense)
Also it looks like the lense is your second eye, marking you as a photographer. (Also it's kind of reminiscent of cybernetic eyes :) )
If anything I would wonder wether the glow above your head and camera is due to pp?
