This is a self portrait I took with my camera's self timer set at 10 seconds. I had to resort to these measures because nobody in the house had the time to be my model, heck, they didn't even have the time to push the button!

Haha... And you are soo gooood at it! lmfao (Mt. Flipyaoff). This is really your first entry?? thas so awsome! I never knew that!! you've gota share more Anna, lol. Merry Christmas (prayin 4 ur ipod, lol)
Love it Anna! i swear, you've gota get back to the self portraits, penguins seem to work for you too, lol! but ya, everthing looks so natural, oviously the timer went off when you wanted ;D
edit... ya, i spelt it wrong, but i don't know how to fix it :(
The tones are very nice. I can just feel the energy drain out of me while looking at the main subject draped over the couch. The background is a bit busy for my taste. But I like how you kept half your face shadowed. Congrats on the high placement!
I like this very much. I find myself often using myself as a model and I think it's a good idea. It helps you learn to capture a bit of yourself in an image which will help you when photographing other people. You did a good job with this. I don't mind the clutter as it seems organic and ads to the realness of the scene.
the escence of boredom
the figure is wonderful as is the b&w , I would crop the right the picture at the arm of the couch. That would remove the area to the right of it as it is too busy and isdrawing attension away from the main subject
The b&w works very well, although I would have prefered to see the background blurred, because it can get a little distracting (many elements and strong light). Otherwise, nice shot.
I love the lighting and the composition. There's something going on with here left hand that's a little distracting (Looks lie there's something on it, or wrong with it, but I can't tell exactly) and she seems to be missing a leg. Other than that, very nice.
