Challenge: Self Portrait V (Advanced Editing IV)
Collection: challenges
Camera: Pentax Optio 555
Location: kitchen
Date: Nov 4, 2006
Galleries: Black and White, Self Portrait
Date Uploaded: Nov 4, 2006

 Me in the kitchen; I like the ghostly background and the compositional elements of the eyes and hands,the contrast of skin and slick coffee cup, and the tongue sticking out to balance the seriousness of the gaze.

I hope I get some intelligent comments. I don't really care about score, self portrait time is time to show your face.

I hope your tongue is ok again ;)

weird. I look at your photo again after voting, and now I see it's in a livingroom. At first I thought this was in a cafeteria. Must be your serious look! ;-)

Lol. A funny and very well composed portrait of a man in his environment. Bump.

Good clear eyes, a little too much clutter in the background...maybe that could have been taken care of with a change in DOF.

... and the tongue is not all that is burned! But in this case it is OK, it gives a good impression of daylight ...
