Self Portrait

Description

A couple of friends and I are doing a 30 Week Photo Challenge to improve our photography and this was the first: a Self Portrait.
I have to say this was very hard for me to do. I love taking pictures of other people but find it so awkward taking my own! Thankfully, my Mom helped out a bit (and made it less awkward) and was my stand-in at times so I could know where to focus. (:

Constructive criticism is welcome!

i will be mercyless...
for your own good....
as a portrait is bad....you have a large mass od things that are irrelevant.....
this means that you should asbsolutely concentrate in the things ...you thimnk or know....that are different from the others.....
and concentrate in this point...
it is inside you.....
and you must try to translate to the opicture what goes inside you...
this is the essence of a selfportrait....

not masses of green bushes..i know it is extremely difficult---

but there is one thing that is very good...the intensity of your look...
there is depth.....
the position of head is very good....

eleminate the superfluous...concentrate in the real important...
put your soul in what you believe...
and than.....try to transform this conscience of yourself, your conception of the world in one picture...
and you will make

a better self portrait------

if you allow me ...i will make some phantasy with your image..

besides the factr that uou are a a beautifull ewomaN...your mouth is almost perfect.....
and your eyes are like mirrors for your soul...and clearly show the depth inside.....
