Just tried taking some self-portraits to be used as promotional material for some martial art events that I have coming up and this was my personal favourite - any thoughts or C&C is certainly welcome! :-)

Taken with a 600D, 18-55mm kit lens and 1 Yongnuo YN-560 II Flash.

Sorry don't know how to post photos on to the forum via Flickr - anybody know how?

The photo is quite good I agree but that expression....do you really want that as your promo pic?
What it says to me is.....I YELL! I have seen other martial arts images and all are more serious, yet tough of course.
If you retake, you might want to include your arms and hands in fight position.

This photo is for somebody else who asked for this particular expression, (as well as others with a more serious look, which didn't come out too well aha); but I will probably retake this one and include hands and arms in some way, like you suggested. Thanks for your feedback! :)
