Black & White Self Portrait

This is a self portrait I took. I cleaned a few shadows from the background, converted it to B&W, and expanded the canvas in Photoshop. I also pushed up the exposure a bit. It was shot against a white background, so minimal PP was actually needed.

What do you think?
C&C very welcome.

    Really like this! I'm a graphics guy at heart, so this particular shot would make for an awesome editorial ad! Text and graphics on the left, etc. Great shot. thumb.gif

    good shot indeed, just a little bit noisy, try to remove it with a de-noising software =)

    very nice, and what a fun self portrait! the noise doesn't bother me. I agree with Darren; it has a great commercial appeal to it. :)

    Fun and I think the noise is perfect for the shot...maybe because you are so casually dressed in it... just looks like a spur of the moment, moment.

    Thanks everyone. The noise was intentional. I could have lowered the ISO quite a bit, but pushed it to get some noise out of it.

    I felt like it was expressive. Its not often a take self portraits, and I take ones I'm so fond of even less.
