Great stuff but there seems to be a motion blur on the equipment. I thought it was just a DOF issue, but it seems to be a blur caused by motion.

I just love your face! You have such an characteristic look you can make every photo interesting and special. Honestly.
However the quality is a little bad. A bit too blurry. I would have loved to see more of the details in your face. Skin textures and shadowplay.
Do you use any software on your photos?

Thanks all!
Yes I know..it's a bit blurry caused by motion and the long exposure time. I like to use available light.
Yes I use Photoshop as my darkroom, and in my way to see Photoshop isn't cheating. If you're an artist and it gives you the results you want then it's the right way.

Love it! The first one is my favourite from the three self-portraits so far, but this is very interesting too. You are very photogenic.

Concept:

Technical Skill:

Strong

Impact/impression:

Very strong
Pros:
Wow, this is great! Personal and artistic! I like the way you "hide" behind the camera, gives us a clue that you're a photographer.
At first I thought maybe it could use a little more contrast, but after looking closer to it, I disagree with myself;) I think the contrast works very well, and brings out important details. The fact that you're in focus, and the cam is in motion (?), adds a nice touch to it.
Cons:
Nothing, actually. Maybe it would look nice with a white frame, but it works as it is now:) So no complaints!;)
Overall opinion/feedback:
Very artistic! I like b&ws, especially if they're good. And I think this is
Oh, btw:) I'd be interested in seeing you smile as well;)
