What do you do when you're bored and sick of working? Take self portraits with your new camera, of course! Naturally, the only one that is both in focus and I'm looking at the camera is the one where i've got my hand in front of my face, but other than that, I kinda like it

This is a photo with a lot of personality - yours! Much better than a stuffy, formal pose.

Thanks! It's certainly hard to not look stiff when you're your own subject.

It is more than just being relaxed. Everything (including your knuckles and the way the top one aligns with your nose) draws the view to your eyes, and from my understanding that is often what you aim to create as the focal point when shooting portraits.

I think a great capture. Personality shines all over it.
