Piety, thank you for the better view. Your self portrait looks real good. I would not make any change here rather than frame it and hang it on the wall. This should be a study only and a good one. What I would suggest for you to work on next is a self portrait while looking in the mirror. Working from photos can teach some things but working from life is where you will learn much much more and enjoy every minute. Do 10 self portraits with different lighting is better than a hundred portraits from a photo. Why? Because working from life will teach you more than a thousand photos.
I wish you the best.
