First Self Portrait

This is my first self portrait. How did I do? I'm so used to taking photos of other people.... I never realized how hard it is to take a photo of yourself!

It's tough isn't it? I did mine too... (profile image). I had a friend do a few of me but she couldn't sort out the viewfinder of my camera... she has a corrective piece in hers for her vision.

Yours looks good. I like the high contrast.

Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,but by the moments that take our breath away.

Love it! The lighting you did on this is amazing.. and the focus is so perfect... A difficult thing to do... how many tries did it take until you felt like you had the shot you really liked?

About 40 tries or so.... lol! But in those 40 tries, i did try a couple different poses.
