Hot! Great lighting and subtle shadows on your face. The background (bed headboard?) is a distraction.

Great look you have. I like the lighting and the only thing I would nit pik is the crop. I would have gotton rid of some of the right side. Very nice though8

i don't know anything about portraiture, so i'm using your image to try to figure out what i think i would or wouldn't do in this situation, as well as what i notice and get out of your image.

my initial reaction is that this is a strong, sharp image. while i like the contrast, i think the lighting is just everso slightly too strong. the expression and pose is perfect, especially for a self-portrait. the only things i really have qualms with are the centering of the subject and background on right. i think if you went with a 1:1.25 crop from the left, it would be perfect. but then again, what the hell do i know? i shoot bugs and blurry taxis. you have a fine image, and i hope it does well for you!
