50mm + self-portrait

[groovyf]

New 50mm 1.4 lens, and have been playing around with self-portraits... not easy when it's handheld at arm's length :D
Quite tricky when you have to check each one for how it fills the frame, then losing your seating position. The focus is probably the best I could do on this one.
I think this is the best of the bunch:

Gotta love the 50 1.4, but I think you could do with a little less bokeh. The haze around the other side of the mouth is a little bit too much.

However, taking this at arms length and getting it sharp is quite impressive! :thumbs:

Shame you've cut off your chin. Otherwise :thumbs:

Ooh, well spotted. I see what you mean. I think I was more distracted by the fact I got the eye/closest lens in focus rather than the nose to notice the mouth :D
