I too did a self portrait. I thought that you had too much headroom. You seemed to be sitting too low in the frame, for my liking

In a headshot I generally like to see the distance from the chin to the base of the frame, equal to or more than the distance from the eyes to the top of the frame.

These two images displayed that.

Hope this helps.

I thought that I could display these images, but maybe I can't.

Color balance or saturation is very off -- his hair looks blue/purple for some reason?
