Welcome to Shotcritic I hope you post in the forum those are great.
As to Scotts comment about hiding your face I suspect its hard to take your own photo and get a decent facial expression. Your thinking about both what your trying to capture and the camera timer
I've tried to take pictures of myself for avatars.. goofy faces lol But from the glimpses I agree your beautiful and its time to come out of the box.
