So today I was taking photos of myself for practice. (my models were watching a movie) When I was going through them afterwards, and I noticed that in my favorite picture, I had accidentally cut the bottom part of my chin out of the frame. Whoops. Easy to do when you're using a 50mm prime lens and your arms are getting tired. I put the photo in my profile slot, but I'll probably replace it, depending on feedback.
So my question is, would the photo look better if I was to: crop the top of my head out also, leave the picture the way it is, or delete it? And please don't be too shy to give me your honest opinion, even if it is to stop photography altogether, 'cause I'm going to keep trying anyway. :) Personally I think it's an okay picture, but it would have been a whole lot better if I wasn't missing the bottom part of my chin, and if I had cropped the right part of the shot out, and not the left. But on the other hand, I'm not shooting for "okay" photos. Practice makes perfect, I guess.
Anyway, I hope everyone has a great week,
Kelsey

Kelsey, I'm not much of a photographer, but I like your picture. It would have looked better if you hadn't cut your chin out, but I don't think you should crop the top of your head out too. I don't think I could take that good of a picture of myself! I would probably miss my whole head! So, anyway I think you should leave it like it is and call it "life experience!" Maybe one day you will teach a class on photography and you'll need some examples of "ways not to take pictures of your self!" (so you better not delete it):)
Good luck on your photography!
(P.S. thanks for the picture dvd we really enjoyed it!)
