Taken outside in the shade on my back deck with black velvet in the background. Slightly desaturated all colors but the blue (hoping to bring out my eyes a bit). Tripod mounted slightly above and tilted just a bit, so I was looking up. Nikon Coolpix 995 - the perfect camera for a self-portrait, as you can twist it around and see what you're taking a picture of, even if the camera is pointed at you. This was the best of about 40 that I took.

Lovely pose and focus. Perhaps a little more light and warmth would have helped. Perhaps also push the blue in your eyes and the red in your lips up a touch more. Soft focus would also make you seem to glow. 7 - floyd
Is this Jodie Coston? I hope it is, otherwise I\'ll be (kinda) embarrased :) Good self-portrait, the eyes in particular are really nice. One of my favourites.
Very nice portrait and I like the way your hair falls over your shoulder. Pose is also good and I like the way your hair on top merges with the background. Only thing I would have liked to have seen is you bring out the color of your beautiful blue eyes more. Maybe more saturation. Well done.
I think a portrait should reveal some character, or emotion of the model, by showing expression in eyes or other facial features. Did your picture accomplish that? Yes....good job!
artistic/creativity? Good composition. I like the way your hair forms a diagonal and leads up to your face.
Technical? Good focus on your eyes, and good overall lighting and exposure. Coloring is natural looking.
