Zombie???

[almost a crayon]

This is one of my first trys at self-portrait photography. I used photoshop to try and make myself look like a zombie. Wondering what people think? For the larger copy visit my flickr page Flickr: almost a crayon's Photostream

Looks pretty good, but I'd have used a different background.

I agree with WooD on the background. The glass isn't quite zombie-esque. I would also not have stood right against the wall - with an aperture of f/1.8, why bring the background into focus?

Thanks for the feedback. I see what you mean by the background and when taking these types of photos I shouldn't stand too close to the wall?

I don't quite understand you. Are you asking something?

Sorry should be more clear. Yeah I was asking about standing close to the wall. Was wondering how far I should be away from the background.

That depends on the situation, and the environment. Just thinkg about this: if you don't want your wall to be the subject, make sure it's out of focus.
