This is very creative, Shelby. I like your composition so much. The position of the chin and lips anchor the whole image. Great shot!

Hi Shelby,

I really like the composition and cropping you have done for this photo. Very neat detailing and textures. Perfect for black and white photo.

Great message too! We all should be proud of who we are...flaws and all!

Hi Shelby

Well I think you know how I feel about this. There is imperfection in beauty and there is beauty in imperfection - and besides, "imperfection" is not an absolute, it's subjective.

I think this self portrait IS perfect because it tells the honest, beautiful truth.

Thank you for sharing it and bravo!

Shelby one thing I have noticed in in your photo's since being on TL, is not only the skill you have learned and translate to your photo's, but the wisdom that comes into your insight as a young lady, as your mother siad "You are so mature for your age"
Interesting POV and your choice of B&W "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"
well done
