Self Portrait - The Eyes Have It...

I decided to make a second attempt at a self portrait. I am not overly pleased with the result for several reasons.

First of all, the subject matter is... Well, I am no model. Plus, it is quite easy to see that I am still recovering my health, thus the title. I tried to smile, really I did.

Secondly, I think I under-exposed it a little. Mind you, my eyes are still a bit "off".

Thirdly, my mono-light/umbrella is reflecting in my glasses... I will have to try different lighting setups to try and avoid this reflection in the future.

Another... With better exposure.

I'm still learning. And I definitely need more practice, but I think this is an improvement over my first attempt at a self portrait.
