Self Portrait

Fire away. (I really should hang around here more often, huh?)

Traditionally a portrait is defined by the subject, typically human, pretty much taking up a good portion of the picture and his/her face is quite discernible. If a portrait was your goal, a re-take is inevitable - likely with your mug involved.

Otherwise, I like the composition in this shot. The thirds are followed nicely. The colors and contrast work quite well.

My problem is that there's this little guy that seems to be the subject but too small to be "it". I'm struggling to decide if this is a picture of him or the scene. I'd rather have the choice be given than opted.

That's exactly what I thought as soon as I saw it. Maybe you should bring the camera closer and it will fix the problem. Everything else is great (great colors and focus).
