You're glowing like the sun.............great colors and good PP. It took me a minute to see the headphones because the head image is so vivid.
Nicely done!

Hi lensbaby,
I really liked the lighting in your self portrait. But I had a few pointers on the overall photo.
1. I would have really liked to see little more of the headsets and cables, in the current photos it is very hard to make out the hardset.
2. Rather than having a full front face, a side portrait would would have been more effective conveying the "enjoying the music theme".
Just a suggestion.
BTW, great for a first time poster.
Thanks for all the comments! Wow I didn't expect that many replies.
Thanks for the comment about wanting to see more of the headphones, and I see your point. I did these pictures as part of a series, and there are some other pictues in there that show more of the headphones, however I didn't like them as much.
Oops, I didn't see the rule about the longest dimension having to be 640! I think my longest dimension is at 600. Will I be disqualified? I will def know for next time.

Yes, you'll be disqualified, but there's nothing to stop you from changing the image. Just return to your full-size image, and downsize to 640, then edit your original post and change the image. It's done all the time; you don't need to delete the thread.
Great shot, btw; I think the view works fine, and see nothing wrong with making us look a moment before we spot the headphones.
