Description Model: Myself.
I always have some issue with self-portraits.
Today, I could not for the life of me take a photograph without a glare on my glasses.
I wear glasses, every day. I enjoy wearing glasses. I actually prefer the way I look with them. Today it simply was not going to happen.
Tough dookie, I guess.

You are beautiful!
I really like the framing, and how you filled the frame but it's not crowded by any means. I also like the soft bokeh textures, they really add to the photo.

I'm not sure about the lighting, because it seems that the face is overexposed and lost a lot of detail...try to tone down on the exposure to capture more detail. Nice smooth skin though!

I also like how the hair and skin colors contrast, the dark hair framing the face really helps the face to pop, if you know what I mean.

Lovely work!

Thank you! I appreciate the feedback. I agree, the lighting is a bit harsh. Practice makes perfect!

I love the colors in this photograph. Your bright blue eyes really stand out among the warm monochrome colors. Very nice.

Plus, I love the bokeh ;D

Nice photo!

You created a very nice atmosphere in this well-compositioned picture.
I love your gaze, it's very magnetic. The colours are also beautiful, not too many.
The only point I don't like that much is the lightning in your face... In my opinion, it would be better if there were more shadows, like around the nose and your cheeks, because the way your face is at the moment, it looks a little bit 'flat'. Hm... Do you know what I mean? o.O

Overall, this portrait has a great impact and it makes me think that I could look into your soul through that pretty blue eyes.
Keep up the good work!

I'm sorry for my English. I hope you could understand me...

Thank you!
I agree with the lighting, unfortunately no matter where I tried shooting that day, the lighting was crazy bright. I took about 200 shots that day, and only uploaded one because of it, actually. This was the only one I was happy enough with to upload. The others looks crazy flat.
Thanks for the feedback!
