    I think its great that you didnt cover your face up with something stupid like a lot of other people do........

    The lighting is a little harsh in the background. Give it another try but face the window next time.

    Dont give up

    be aware of two things when you do selfs :

    fist : the background (yeah nice l like your computer monitor SO much !!)
    second : the light (as the others said)


    control the light and you will control the background eek7.gif

    yeah, i'm definitely going to plan the background next time. this one was originally just a test to see if my camera had been damaged when my sister dropped it.
