Fun with light! Getting better at it, I think...I know the focus is a little soft, but it's a challenge when shooting self-portraits without a remote - even with a high fstop, it would seem.
Post processing - bit of a crop and some healing brush.

tip for shooting with timer: put an object/your hand into the frame where you plan to be during the shot and then press the shutter. in the 10-20 seconds after, since the cam is already locked on, you can casually wander back into the frame and get it bang on.
that aside, nice shot! could have been a bit darker to bring out 'true' blacks.
Composition: 6 - The negative space to the right works well but I don't like the crop at the top
Technical: 3 - It seems way too dark. There is almost no detail in the hair and the eyes especially need to be a lot brighter.
Creativity: 5 - The leaves in the hair etc are a good attempt to make it a unique portrait, but a more interesting angle and pose etc would add interest.
Appeal: 4
