I'd like it better if your whole face were in focus. My eyes are drawn to the fuzzy nose

this isnt as funny as the first picture taken with a flash thread. Sorry.
I guess I am not familiar with that thread...?
But anyways, I see that my first photo is not being well received. :-(
Here is the second shutter actuation from my attempt at self portraits. Any better? (image deleted and not reposted with quoted passage)

The thread you're not familiar with was , "My First Photo With a Flash," posted on January 24,2010, by bitter jeweler. It is located here http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/...hoto-gallery/191599-my-first-photo-flash.html
It too was an attempt at humor,but it succeeded.
Ask yourself this first. What is the point of your image, what are you trying to show the viewer. In my opinion, you can cut off all you want but it will impact the image. Question is will it be good or bad. In this case, it wasn't good.ANYWAY. Can someone find me anywhere that it's documented in the sacred tomes of photography that it's unacceptable to not have the entire head of a subject in frame? It seems like time and time again, this gets brought up, and I fail to see why this is a requirement for a captivating portrait.
Not getting defensive, simply just sayin'.
Well, lets see.... It's a self portrait, for starters. I think that was covered earlier, even through the tongue in cheek humor, no? I took multiple shots, ones that were from a wider angle that included my hair also. I found that the inclusion of the hair was distracting, so I re-shot. I also had to shoot at f/1.4, up close. So my DOF was roughly 1/10th of a foot.
Any comments would be helpful. I am new to the world of digital photography and have never used a camera before.
Thank you!

Maybe this is his issue:

Necromancer
"Necromancer has a supernatural ability to bring long-dead forum discussion threads back to life. After having been flogged to death the thread may have been deceased for many years, and bringing it back may have scant relevance to the current topic, yet Necromancer will unexpectedly exhume the threads rotting corpse, and strike horror in the forum as its grotesque form lurches into the discussion. The monster, instantly recognized by all who knew it in life, seems at first to breathe and have a pulse, but, alas, it is beyond Necromancers skill to fully restore the threads original vitality. The hideous apparition may frighten away some of the weaker Warriors or Warriors badly wounded in former battles, but the thread is only a shadow of its former self and very quickly expires." end quoted passage--there is more!
