Comment by Citadel: Self portraits are always tough especially for things like focus. If your focus had been on your eyes this image would be great. It almost looks like the focus is actually behind you.
The background is also quite busy and really draws attention away from your face.
The pose itself works well and the composition is solid. The shirt you chose is quite complimentary and while quite brightly colored actually helps bring attention to your face.
Comment by aliqui: The focus is indeed missed, but I don't think the result is an image that is better than if you would have hit your mark. Literally this photo fits the challenge, but in my voting I'm looking for photos where the missed focus has a significance or the work can stand alone outside of this challenge. This just leaves me wishing the focus were on the horses were it should be.
