So, since the last one taught me quite a bit, let's try again. This time a simple self portrait. What can I do to make it better?

I am not huge into grain in photos, generally ever but... Since your subject matter is a Land Camera 100, it is fitting in this case.

I may have to dig out my Land Camera for a couple shots and then run screaming back to Pentax.

Overall, nice shot. I perhaps try to bring the DOF a little larger...just a touch.

Thanks guys! Funny thing is, the grain was done in post. I shot that at ISO 200 and it's hardly cropped. Glad you guys got the idea I was getting across with it.

I think its a great pic. love the grain. Maybe a bit more focus on the hand. It is good as it is though.
