Well not quite but it is my first self portrait and after having thrown it up for critique thought I might just share it here as well . Taken for the ghetto lighting topic for the 365 on Flickr I used a candle 45 degrees camera right remote shutter release and tripod , my ugly head and my fave hat . Thanks for looking . All the best

Cool shot. I've just got my flash back from Nikon repair and need to get into using it again.

I can imagine that was somewhat tedious....tinkering with the settings, moving back into the pose, look up, change settings, re-pose etc etc.....but you finally got it and the lighting is great.....it is so evenly spread across the frame.

Thanks guys , funny how well one of those smelly little candles in a glass holder will light for you , and for $2 better than some very expensive flash ,ha ha ha , and I did try a few pozzies and a couple of different settings and after about 40 blurry or badly framed shots out popped this . Thanks for looking guys .

I like the way the little bit of zipper and the hat band coordinate to keep your eye moving around the photo. And you want to...not just because it's a handsome face...but the pose is a kind of repose that makes it emotionally appealing as well visually interesting. Nice.

I love it! So nice to put a face to a name. And such a nice face it is! I have been thinking of what to do for this weeks assignment. I think you did a great job here!

Great shot! Very nicely done!

I think this is a very thoughtful, and well thought out self portrait. The compostion is just right and I like the colours and tones although would liked to have seen it in B+W to compare the two. Great picture bradzo
