Self Portrait

[Lindsie Nicole]

I did get some comments on Flickr, but I was wondering if there is anything I could do to improve it other then what people have already said...?

Thanks!

Nice picture but I'd also like to add that you cut yourself off at the shoulder. You shouldn't cut people off at the joints because it just looks odd. I would've liked to see at least the downward curve of your shoulder so I know you didn't have just one arm.

I agree with oldwolf. It seems to make you appear lopsided.
You might try cropping a little closer to your face, just enough to crop out the black vehicle.

You should also try cropping out the white vehicles on the right.
The bright white seems to keep pulling my eyes away from the subject.

With both of these, I believe it brings out the subject of the picture.

I love the colors in this photo!
I agree about the cropping of the shoulder. Is this crop SOOC? Or is your shoulder in the original? I would also prefer a tighter crop on your face that would also eliminate the white truck.
