Going out on a limb here. I don't do Self Portraits (rarely do portraits) and my lighting set-up is a long way from ideal, but hey, another excuse to submit something different and hear what people have to say on this one. Not really happy with the shaddows. I wanted Shaddows cast, just don't like the ones that resulted
Don't expect anything great from this, but being a Speed Challenge, at least I am in, and it is different

You can hardly see a tack. When a challenge is about tack, it should have been more prominent and should take larger area of the picture. Also, watch for te shadows.
A technical success, it's less than successful in an artistic sense. The subject is less than interesting and overly relies on the person and not the tack. A little more thought and better framing would have brought the rating higher.
