I'd have preferred a photo without the remote switch in it.. otherwise a good photo.. 8

I had the same idea, but didn't submit. This will be interesting to see how you score.
Nice job of focus, lighting and pose BTW.

hmm not sure about the decision to have your hand in the photo.. obviously on purpose, but not sure it works

A very nice response to the challenge with very good lighting to make the point. The image has a softness but I like it because it supports the rather attentive but somber mood. Bumping up.

I wish the timer cord wasn't occluding part of your face.

A very serious personality staring back at me?

Somehow keeping the cable off of your face would have improved this a bit for me. 7

Neat use of the shutter release for your self portrait. Nice dof. Good luck on this unique work...

Nice job with the dof and the clear bg. I like the idea of us seeing the cable release but sort of wish the wire didn't cross in front of your face....but I wouldn't want you to lose any fingers either. :-) Maybe if you had moved everything up just a bit. Great shot.

The hand dominates, is out of focus and therefore, maybe,becomes distracting?
