Re: Self Portrait

I really like it - it's a bit different from your other stuff, but still a super shot!

And I find it hard to find fault with your work cos the standard is always so high!

Re: Self Portrait

Re: Self Portrait

Great shot !

It looks as though you're about to be abducted by Aliens !

I'd be inclined to agree with Stan about being placed in the middle of the frame.

Re: Self Portrait

Me being centered in the frame was a hundred percent intentional. I always play by the rule of thirds, so I figured it was about time to change it up a bit. Same with the lighting. Never used only one flash before.
