Excellent Work! I believe one of the most difficult challenges of shooting for a self portrait contest, would be to get the audience to relate to a total stranger in a positive way. I think you have accomplished that quite well here. Nice skin tones, great job of dropping clutter from the shot with the black background. My only suggestion to improve the composition would be to keep the focus sharp all the way down to the feet, or remove them from the shot all together. All-in-all, it's really a great shot.
It scores a 9 from me.
