So this was my first attempt at off-camera flash, and at self-portraits. I suppose I learned that it's best to tackle new things one at a time because a lot of my shots were unusable. This one was a bit better, but I feel like something is missing. I think the composition could be improved so that my ear isn't cut off, and the harsh shadow behind my ear needs to go away (I could clone it out I suppose).
The lighting was such that I had a window camera-right, and a SB-600 camera-left bounced off of the ceiling as fill flash.
EXIF:
Exposure: 0.01 sec (1/100)
Aperture: f/2.8
Focal Length: 50 mm
ISO Speed: 320
Anyways, I'd like a critique of the composition, and also, suggestions on how this might have been lit to create a more "interesting" image.
Thanks in advance for the help.
