I had hoped to get a nice self portrait done this week, but I didn't have time. I threw this together in about 20 minutes a couple hours before the deadline. I wanted this to show my age, so post processing is intended to accentuate the defects instead of trying to minimize them. Hope you like it!

Indeed. The strenght of a portrait is in the eyes. Here the visual expression is enhanced by a well determined facial expression. The lighting is on the money and the framing is superb. Bumping up.
i don't know anything about portraiture, so i'm using your image as a guinnea pig as to what i think i would or wouldn't do in this situation, as well as what i notice and get out of your image.
excellent work! the lighting, composition, focus, expression--everything comes together here. the range of tonalities and the textures all come through. i hope to have this much control when i take my turn! 8 from me.
For some reason the slight variation in lighting from left to right eye bothers me. I like it for the face, but I would like the "windows" to be evenly lighted. Excellent focus and good catchlights on the left. 8
This portrait is just great. Perfect clarity and lighting to help show details. The skin tones are very pleasing. The only thing that distracts me are the highlights on the camera right part of your shirt, but otherwise this is a captivating and wonderful portrait. the first 10 from me.
