Challenge: Portrait with Spectacles (Basic Editing)
Camera: Nikon D50
Lens: Nikon AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D
Location: Home Office
Date: Jan 8, 2008
Galleries: Portraiture, Self Portrait
Date Uploaded: Jan 8, 2008

 Do not expect much from this one (especially since it is a self portrait), my head got cropped out of the shot more than I wanted and I tried to get the pose right again and it just never looked as good as this one.

I've never really tried to do portraits so it is a learning experience for me, look forward to the comments.

I like the lighting and composition a lot. Would have liked the crop a little bit higher to encompass more of the face/head.
