A bit of a fluke really.
I took this in my bathroom with no make up and nothing to hide my wrinkles and I must say it came out strange
I have no real explanation probaly due to the light in my bathroom.
I hate having my photo taken at the best of times and to pose for my own photo is wierd
I re touched a few bits with the clone tool
tweaked the tonal level and changed to B/W added border reduced the size Gaussian blur added to give it me softness. Which is how I am

A very friendly and warm smile with gaze dead on to the lens. Perhaps the white fade out is too sudden and possibly extended which makes me contemplate a tighter crop. However, the image is well lit and the smile very appealing. Bumping up.
The lighting seems a little harsh from the left. I realise you're going for the high-key look but you have the wrap with details on the right and it disappears into the background on the left, which seems a little odd to me. The left side of your face is also a little too bright from the light also. I like the tilt coming in from the corner.
Great pose, and a very natural look. You've captured emotion in this shot, which is commendable. I think the high-key ecceft might be a touch overdone as your cheek and hair are completely blown out on the left. A subtle photoshop edit and this would be an amazing shot.
A very nice portrait. It shows all the attributes you list, AND shows off that million dollar smile. On my monitor your right cheek seems to blend with the bright light of the high-key style, I wish there were a little more definition there, but that is a VERY minor weakness. 8
