Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I would say Picture 3!.

It's simple and I think the angles are very appealing!. I like how it's balanced and it shows some shadow in the background, the whole face, hair, sunglasses, and just enough of the clothing!. The lighting contrasts well and makes the face+sunglasses stand out!. It's a very pretty picture :D

Picture 1, 2, and 5 are just kind of messy and there's too many things going on at once!. There's no center point that draws attention and the lighting is bland!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Number 5 would make an awesome drawing!.!.!. it had alot of lighting and shadows to think about!.!.!. however it may be too difficult as there alot of energy in many areas!.!.!. if you're a skilled artist, you would have to choose no 5!.

Number 3 would be weak!.!.!. it lack being dynamic despite it that you're interacting with you're glasses!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i like number two, but just the full-face right side or it!. there is no need to do a duplicate mirror image!. i think the photo captures interesting shadows and makes the planes of your face stand out!. and you don't look bug-eyed :)

i've done many many self-portraits!. it is an interesting experience to know your face on such an intimate level!. go for an "interesting drawing", rather than a "pretty picture"!.

I like picture 7!.!.!.I like that one the most because it would be so cool if you drew it!. If you drew it it would be like a girl looking at another girl, like twins or something!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'd say steer clear of the sunglasses ones!. I kinda like the one where you look yourself in the eyes in the mirror!. #7Www@QuestionHome@Com
