I really like the first one. It almost looks like a painting. Maybe clone out the blob in the bottom right corner. All in all nice picture! Good work; ▶ Reply to This

I sure you can do that.
Second photo, Much harder for someone trying to do SELF portrait. Show me somthing unique that I would want to know. You have a very pretty Face, perhaps get in closer to show me just how pretty you are. If it's some other attribute that is is important to your self image, then find a way to make that important in the image. YOU are the artist, your image should MAKE me see what it is that you want me to look at. I can tell in this image but you probably have attractive hands, try including this in an image that is tight enough to see detail. If you want to do a whole body shot then it should stand out from the background and be more prominent than anything else in the image.
You have grab on to your self confidence and throw out some of your inhibitions about revealing your character, to be a great photographer. I know you can do it.; ▶ Reply to This
