Jade I think it's actually very good, I'm not sure I'd alter anything at all. The shadow areas are a bit denser and lacking in detail than I'd normally like, but it suits the image.
I think that's a good shot and self portraits are just a nightmare at the best of times.
There is a crop of edgy shots popping up on here at the mo and I have to say I'm really enjoying them. I did drag this one into potatochop to have a little play with the levels and I reckon a little bit more bite on the white point balances the lovely deep blacks a bit more.
Looks pretty good to me - esp for a 1st attempt! You say you're not quite sure about lower half - what do you mean exactly? If you wanted to lighten the shadows there slightly hold a white reflector (white card will do) under your face just to throw a little light back.
Just looking at the image I would have suggested a tiny sharpen - and then scrolled down to find that CT beat me to it! Nice work, a really good picture.
