you mean good for newbie or just good ?
anyway, I'm pretty sure I've made some mistakes, just want to make it clear

edit.: sorry just an idiot remark lol... couldnt see clearly i guess

I like the second shot, the colors are really nice, the reflection is super.

Self portraits are a hard one!!! Keep snapping and you will get there..You have fabulous eyes

BTW welcome to POTN!

The first one does not interest me much but,

the second one is great. It looks like something that would be in Architectural digest. For several reasons. The colors are great, you didn't do anything there except print them using a color balance that looked great. You'd be surprised how many people can't seem to do that simple thing.

You took it from a good location.

You took it in a state that we are not used to seeing it and you pointed that out. It's a mall. We are used to seeing malls or open buildings like that full of people.

Great going!

I like the lighting technique in the first image. It generates a really nice modeling effect. I'm not a fan of over-crop. Over-cropped photos remind me too much of the errors I've made in the old days from not allowing for the parallex in my old yasicha reflex view finder. I can't escape the subconscious reflex notion that it's a blunder.

Thanks for your replies.
I'll go on and try it then...

The processing on the first one makes your face look 2-dimensional....it looks like a picture of a very detailed cardboard cutout.

The colors are nice in the 2nd one (very warm), but the compostion is uninteresting to me.
