thanks Yea..... I doubt there is going to be a round 2. I'm not a big fan of photos of myself. I agree about the catchlights. Something just looks off, I'll hav to that when I do my indoor lighting again.Self-portraits are indeed challenging, but for a first go, you've done VERY well. A couple of thoughts for round two (assuming there will be a round two): Reduce the output and/or diffuse your light more; the skin is a bit hot and has lost detail in a few areas on your left (camera right) side, and increase the height of your light; ideally catchlighs should show around the 10.00/2.00 o'clock positions, notice how yours are much lower?

Aw shucks... You're pretty... No creep
Your Main light is slightly below 3 o'clock. This is causing the nose shadow to rise. Preferably in portraiture such as this, the nose shadow would fall somewhere between the bottom of the nose and the upper lip, without touching the upper lip. Search for Rembrandt lighting pattern.thanks Yea..... I doubt there is going to be a round 2. I'm not a big fan of photos of myself. I agree about the catchlights.
