First Self-portrait

[junglebear]

Hi everyone

This is my first self-portrait attempt, I took it out of boredom and lack of anything better to do

I'm fairly pleased with the outcome but I really know nothing about portrait photography and would like some feedback, so what do you think? Good? Rubbish? Anything that could improve it? All comments welcome!

From:

To:

ISO 100, f3.2, 1sec exposure, tungsten WB

GIMP PP:
Cropped; Adjusted colour to get rid of yellow tint; Cloned out some blemishes; Increased blue level in eyes; Slight contrast boost; Applied vignette

The one thing I'd definitely change is take it somewhere without a Guiness poster behind my head!

Your cropped image is a better composition however it is a bit dark compared to the original. Also you are right about not having the Guinness poster behind you as it is distracting.
