Cool stuff! Focusing- It's probably not harder. Just a whole lot more precise.

Now that's a vast improvement on your 1st effort Kevin! Top marks for taking the advice given and coming back so quickly with a better shot.
No distractions, sharp eye ... good work.
About the only thing I can see is you might have over-exposed the face in a couple of spots. The skin appears a bit bright on the bridge of your nose and inner cheek area.

Yea I didn't have anything else to do this afternoon so I did my second attempt at it and it came out pretty good. I see what your talking about on the bridge of the nose and the cheek. Ill see what I can do to fix it. As for the detraction in the other self portrait All I did to fix it was shut the door

Sometimes (actually often) it's the little details that separate a good photo from a bad oneAs for the detraction in the other self portrait All I did to fix it was shut the door

Very cool shot. I tend to hate most mirror shot with the camera in the frame, but this works nicely because the mirror isn't visible as a mirror(if that makes any sense)
Also it looks like the lense is your second eye, marking you as a photographer. (Also it's kind of reminiscent of cybernetic eyes
If anything I would wonder wether the glow above your head and camera is due to pp?
