self portrait C+C welcome

I think you did a really nice job. I like the focus and how the dark backgroud and foreground keep my eyes going back to the focus of your face. Good work.

I'd like the camera lowered a little bit. looks like we're look down on you a little. I'd rather it be more eye-level.

it almost looks like your lower body doesn't exist. It's kinda' nice if you wanted it to fade into the background. But a little light right behind you to create just a touch of an 'edge-light' around your silhouette might be really nice. (at least for the top your head, anyway)

good job.

I don't know what sort of effect you tried to achieve but the lack of top of head/background separation doesn't look good. Maybe lighting up the background with a -1 1/2 or -2 stops lower then the main light would help or even a not too bright continuous light.
