Beautiful scene and some very cool clouds. I wouldn't say this screams portrait though. Your shirt is about the only thing drawing attention to you. Must be rough having somewhere like that to take your dog ;)

I think you should brighten your self just a little. Nice spot and composition.

Wow, pretty colorful image here Armando. Great scenery, but you do realize that you're getting in the way of it, right? (LOL)

Very nice. My initial feeling is that it's moody, almost like a fantasy film. Your outfit is Ok for a self portrait, but I wonder if it has even more potential for a person in a costume, say, a Wizard? (I'm thinking Lord of the Rings here).

As it is, you may consider selectively lighting up your face a little, and perhaps cropping a little off the left. The height is fine.

Very nice work.

Nate, thanks , a bit far but yes I can take my dog there for a walk, about 1 hr drive from home

Greg, yes I realize there isn't enough light on me, although i'm also blurry, exposure was 1/4 of a second , maybe adding light on me will make it more obvious I moved ...

Thanks GB, I'm trying to convince a model to come with a dress that looks airy, magic, or whatever , something that enhances the image and does not get in the way

Along with the issues mentioned, IMO the stone wall is looking a bit out of place here, and also I think you are possibly a bit centred ( minor detail ) . A stunning place to take your dog for a walk, well worth the drive.
The cloud and terrain seem to drop away on the right, is this a distortion or just how it is ?

Thanks Pete, I had the camera pointing down some and the shot was through a fisheye, therefore the distortion
