nice shot, max! good job with the lighting, especially the catchlights. as a portrait, the cropping is a bit out of balance, in that you would want to probably crop an equal portion off the top to balance what you took off the chin. in portraiture, the rule of thirds still applies. you might consider cropping off 15% off the right.
as for scanning, be careful. i have got a ton of stuff that needs rescanning, because i wasn't careful enough the first time through. keep your bed clean, keep your prints clean, and take your time. you might consider wearing the gloves, just to avoid any oils and smudges.
keep it up! more! more!
[also, when you upload to your portfolio, go on and trim the '.jpg' off the title--it makes for a better presentation.]
