Its really too bad you probably cant make a living on doing cool self portraits cause you have it down my man. Thought this was a great shot and idea first time around and I think it is once again. It may be my monitor by I seem to be able to see wrinkles in your back drop and maybe some of your post processing around your head. Dont ya just hate monitor differences. Great shot though.
I am scoring this high as this is a great image. However I feel your original is more appealing. This has a feel of slightly forced colours, where as your take one was more subtle. That being said this is still up there for me.

Hello AJ :) Hehehehehe this is hilarious my friend ;) I wish the top part of the print was atad lower to hide the bottom of your eyes but this is a great shot.
