If I find a light source then I'll shoot my face

I found this cool circular light on a low ceiling in the hotel room I was in last week, it was like having a readymade softbox.

I was getting ready to go out, but decided to see if I could get a good shot with it.

I stood on the bed - see below - to get closer to it and snapped a few using the FaceTime (front) "selfie" camera on my iPhone 5.

I enlarged it and did some sharpening and noise reduction in Lightroom and Nik Tools 2 and the top shot is the result.

The bottom one is the same shot but cropped and filtered in VSCOcam. Quite nice feel to it I thought.

Opinions welcomed in the comments :)
