Day 1, Self Portrait

I love photography, but I needed a way to get out of my comfort zone, to challenge myself. I found a 30 day photography challenge on Pinterest many months ago, and finally started it this weekend.
Day 1 is to take a self portrait, my greatest nemesis, I find them difficult to take. For this photo I stood next to the window with the curtains open, holding the camera at arms length, then the most difficult task, to look natural.
My mom asked me what that expression was, it's concentrating deeply on my work while also trying to smile and look attractive.
