Ah, the chin is fine. I saw the other one first.

If possible I'd get closer to your window and lose the on camera fill flash. Unless you have a flash you can remove, of course.

And is that scrubs you have on? It's really competing for attention with your face.

This is an adorable self portrait!
I hate having my photo taken too unless I am the one controlling the camera (and the images later!).

Lee has made some good suggestions. It is quite sharp, but the flash flattens the light. Try some portraits using natural window light. Have fun.

Thanks Lee, will try that next time. Yeah that's a scrub took these at work. Pretty loud colors huh


I did use the on camera flash for this one.
