The only thing - and it is the only thing - I'd adjust here is a darker line between your lips, just to delineate them. Although you would find, to be honest, that if you did that, you'd probably want to just slightly deepen the tones beneath the jaw-line to the right, as well. Any extra touch you make nearly always (always?) leads to secondary adjustments. Interesting that in most self-portraits, a particular feature stands out (which is why it's so useful to approach any portrait, in the first place, as a caricature, and then to refine it). Is your nose - for instance - quite so dominant? Or did you, in peering at your own features, slightly exaggerate it? Doesn't matter at all if you did, apart from considerations of vanity, but I'd be very interested to know,because that's exactly what I did.

i didnt purposley exaggerate the nose, i'd have to look again at photo's to see if ive changed anything subconsiously and maybe painted myself as 'i' see myself. or i might just have a big nose!!
