Default Self Portraits

This is my very first attempt at self portraits. Although they aren't perfect by any means, I am pretty happy with these two so I just thought I would share!

These are nice clean shots, but try looking into the lens so that your eyes are visible, and, if possible, use some lighting on your face or off to the side to get those catch-lights/ highlights in the eyes. Good first try! Keep at it and I am sure you will do very well in no time. The clarity of each shot was very good. Bye the way, how is the weather out there? It is just starting to get cold here. Bye for now.
