[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
There is a different "magic" when I take a self portrait, it's just me and my camera and it feels special....I put my camera on auto and just placed it on top a shelve...I actually like the edge of the shelve, it give's it a sense of perspective. Hope you enjoy it!

Nice B&W, good composition, good details!
Nice model too, hehe ;)

I really like the title and theme for this shot. There's a certain agency to it, a way that you twist around someone's expectations: you have this almost flirtatious expression and one may expect the title to say "waiting for him (or add some guy's name)" but the POV, black and white, and title of the photo tells one otherwise. Very introspective and personal indeed! Very creative. TFS!

There's intellect in your eyes. I find that sexy. You got nice lips. I like your pictures. You should try not to loose image details during post processing or if you do keep images smaller and make bigger borders. Just a suggestion. I am sure you would come to that yourself.
Have fun and show more of those eyes and lips!

A very difficult task to take a self portrait. It is a trial and error. For some of us, in my case I rather be on the other side of the camera.
In this case the flash washed a bit of your forehead. Perhaps if you bounce the flash, or use a diffuser would help you. Also try NEAT IMAGE (Free) on the net and it would help you clean the image on unwanted blemishes caused by the pixelation. Hope this helps you a bit.
