Took this self-portrait last night at about 0600, after finishing my homemade ring-flash as found on strobist forums. The ringflash is really a mess, but seems it works decently anyway (i forgot to add tin foil in the top-part of it, and forgot to make a hole for the lens untill i finished it ^^)

Anyway, here's the picture. I'm a bit unsure about the crop/composition, so please comment on that and everything else you might feel you want to critique. Whatever it might be, i can take it


It was taken under 2x40watt normal spotlights(tungsten?), and with the new homemade "ringflash" fired at full power.

I like the crop and pp work. It works for me.
Nice photo

I think the lighting is pretty good on this shot, but for composition I would move things in the frame a little bit. Your eyes are probably the most important part of the shot, so I would put them on the top third rather than right in the middle. This might chop off the top of your head a little bit, but that shouldn't hurt things it is done all the time. Also the action is more the left than to the right, so I would leave the extra space on the left instead of the right. So move your head up and to the right and it will look even better.

you do have hair right?

i would add more light to fully illuminate your head.
