Helpful Posts: This is an image of me(AS title suggests) . I really missed when I tried to position myself. I liked it for some reason in B&W.
.
I have no experience photographing people nevermind myself, so all C&C is welcomed. Will add the shot I finished with.
Thanks for viewing.

Re: first attempt selfie
I was laughing because I had 200 mm and had to run in snow to try an beat 10 sec. timer.

Re: first attempt selfie
Get yourself a remote or a shorter focal length lens.

Re: first attempt selfie
Yes I had a 50mm about 40 yds away. So that was an option for sure. But doesn't fit in with my preference for doing everything absolutely the hardest way I can figure to.

Re: first attempt selfie
You sort of look like Sean Penn in the first one where you just captured half of your face.

Re: first attempt selfie
Try cropping the first one straight down the tree and you may have quite an interesting shot. (The part with you in, I mean)
Your stance, slightly angled to the camera was better too.
When you are framing it up, place two markers/sticks on the floor out of shot, to show the limits of the camera frame, it will help you to judge where to stand better.

Great idea to mark out my frame thanks Ian.
