Inspired by Neil's unconventional portrait of Sarah I decided to try a self portrait with what is traditionally the most important part of a portrait, the eyes, left out. As always there were the usual challenges with shooting ones self, so this shot is not in perfect focus. Which made it REALLY hard to chose this one...but it was the best moment captured, the most natural (was going for how I normally sit and stare at my screen when working). I think maybe it is good for me to branch out a little from just what makes a technically good photograph anyway. And perhaps the soft focus is helpful when so close to a subject.
I think you nailed it. Looks great!
