Trying my hand at self portraits...

First, let me say I am VERY uncomfortable in front of the camera. However, I wanted to bust out the tripod and take some photos. I have recently lost a lot of weight and wanted a nice new picture... and one of my tattoo I've never taken self-portraits using the self timer so this was interesting.

Critique is welcome! (FYI, I know a few of the pictures are crooked)

I think they are very well done for self-portraits , congrats on the weight loss you look fab.

Cheers

Nice pictures!

These are very nice. I really like #3 BOS

Watch having your head turned too far. It causes the eye to get buried into the bridge of your nose. Try too keep some white on both sides of your eye.

Beautiful stuff. I always look like a dumb a%$ when I do self portraits.

nice self portaits!
love the composition and lighting

Thank you, all!

they're awesome! you have a great look. i wish you were nearby and would let me shoot you.

i like them all, i think you did great.
this may seem newbish question, but how did you focus did you use a remote?

My jaw hit the floor I was thinking oh my god so hot.

Two three and four are my faves, but three is likely my top pic here... You've done a nice job--keep on doing these...

#3 FTW

No 2 and 3 are great, nice work, you are a good model too
