Yeah...it's me again. Hope you people don't get tired of my selfportraits :-P Had a haircut and now it's quite extreme, bright red. Made a mohican especially for the photo normally it doesn't look like this :-D Thought the knife was just a nice touch to make it more edgy.

This is a really strong shot, with great technicals. I like the almost unbalanced crop (with all the deadspace above your head) it adds to the edginess - but I would also be interested to see it with a more square crop, so the frame is filled more.
aaaaaarrrrgggghhhhh! that looks scary! It's really impactful and I like your composition. Hope you didn't cut yourself! I am getting goosebumps just looking at it...well done
Right then, joke's on me as I now have to plough through 564 images and bump them all (yes, all of them) up. There'll be a third run through for fine tuning. It's day two three now and I'm running late, sorry.
