Default Walking in the woods

Was out to eat and went walking in the woods behind the restaurant, the light was nice under the trees so I did some self portraits. For whatever reason this was my fav although my expression was kind of funny. I did do a bit of post because I wanted to try it a bit more high key than it was originally.

Cool shot! I like your expression and I think the composition really draws attention.

Thank you every one for your comments! I was worried I was cutting off too much of my head so good to know that worked out well.
ehill8794- i am 24 ... so kinda young yet. Come from a long line of men and women with faces that rarely change in the course of their life, may come in handy when i'm 50.

I don't a full head shot was intended here anyways. This is a facial and a good one at that......problems arise when you go for the whole head and you cut off half an ear!

nice take and the expression is intriguing - not the sort of cutie-posed! makes me wonder what you were looking at! thanks for sharing.
