Again, very much, big-time congrats on winning the award! :)

As to this as a portrait, I suggest better focus. I know it can be a bear to get right for a self-portrait. Try standing something up where your head will be and focusing on that, then setting focus to manual so it doesn't change.

But the lighting is very, very nice!

I'm really surprised this didn't finish higher. Very lovely shot with a great B/W tonal range. Perfect for the mood of the approaching storm. The hands on the hips is classic. :P Quite easy to imagine being there...very nicely done!

what an absolutely cool abstract image - I can almost see several faces - the color choice is really eery and the close crop/ full frame works very well here

Very nice shot Julianne. I really like the b&w in this shot. Remember, I still want to see some shots from Frankenmuth.
