Taken with a G2 and remote.
The flip out screen of the G2 was invaluable.
First I wanted to submit a wet face "fresh" picture, but that did not work out, so I just took a general portrait of myself.
This was the only one with a halfway interesting expression.

A good character study with great lighting to bring out the robust and attractive feautures. The diagonal angle works great to add tension. The tone is serious and the gaze almost hypnotic. A very good effort which meets the challenge above and beyond. Bumping up.
