 My best portrait to date; I hope it fares well in this challenge. This is a low-key Self-Portrait with one of my favorite V-neck sweaters tied around my head/face. Most of me processing focused on the eyes, my inspiration for this shot is Steve McCurry (Of Course) and librodo. I hope you enjoy!

i was flicking through the pages of submissions and this really caught my eye. I like the shadows from the lighting and the clear capture of the eyes. Really nice

The only thing that breaks the illusion here is that we can see the V of the V necked sweater you used otherwise a great shot
