Very nice self Portrait.
I don't thing the Pocket wizard need to be the picture, unless you are advertising for PW.

Howdy,

Nice self portrait.

I agee with Jonathan about the PW. But for a different reason.

Reason? It is lighter in tone and draws my eye down and away from you (to edge of image).

Also, I think more "headroom" would be better than the "crotch room" as shown. Your light colored forehead is very close to the top edge of the image.

I hope these comments help you.

I agree with Steady Hand, the PW is just a little too much rig, would have been perfect just with camera and lens. Most non photographers will probably try to figure what that protruding part is anyways. Head room yeah indeed a lil tight. The dark hair zone would have benefitted from some subtle rim/hair light but something very gentle.

I rarely start a comment with things i think could be improved but this is how it came out here.

So i'll end with the goodies cuz i see a lot;

1st, sweet control over your lighting which in turn translates into good rendition of the subtleties in the blacks. Not easy to get any kind of separation with dark clothing on a black background. The choice of a short lighting is quite judicious in this portrait yielding a nice contour of face and neck area. I love the positioning of the subject (you) Straight and proud posture yet relaxed. I also appreciate the centered catch light i the eyes. With a catch light this size best center it because otherwise it masks the iris' color. Maybe this appropriate centering of the catch light was incidental, but hey i comment what i see. Can't say i'm particularly bothered by the crotch area and besides the use of a wooden box to sit on gives interesting texture to the shot as little as it may be.

A very pleasant portrait to look at i tell ya and i'd be proud to have done it, especially considering it's a selfie.

The bottom button does attract some attention perhaps toning it down more like the top one would help.

Great work in my book sir :-)

Assuming that you have them I really would like to see the fingers on your left hand.
