Default Fiery Self Portrait

FlamesSelfPortrait

Used layers to add the flames. Do the flames detract from this photo? I was trying to add to my mean face and make the photo look scarier/angrier. Besides that, is the composition good, or is the fact that my chin is cut off a real problem? I originally took this shot while I was experimenting with the white balance settings.

Yeah..you should've kept the chin. Fewer hair would do..but the emotion is good. Personally, I don't like the flames. The emotion speaks more..flames are exaggeration.

Thanks for the comments.
@akshatrathi294: I was going for a more exaggerated look. This shot wasn't really serious, I was just messing around with different facial expressions and white balances one day. Then my friend added flames so I tried my hand at it and got it to a point I like. I'm actually happy you saw it as over exaggerated.
