Wow really like it!

I find that when doing a self portrait you can get exactly what you want out of it! sometimes models just dont sit right ect!

Great pic, nice mix of ambient and flash. How did you focus so sharply? What technique? Atmospheric and moody...

One of the best thought out and cleverest self-portraits I've seen in a long time.

I focused by sticking the flash exactly where i was going to stand and focused on it using the on camera flash strobe effect and i marked the spot with a rock.
