Mad Jon

A self portrait. I did this a while back. Taken with just natural light.
A lot of thought went into this. I added dirt to my nails, creased the shirt, greased the hair, practised the look and so on.
Its taken me some time to finally be happy with the edited result.
Hope you guys like It.

Re: Mad Jon

I think it's brilliant. I love the tones and colours - I think the lighting is excellent. If I had any niggle at all it would be the darkness of the left hand corner - where the alien picture is. Having said that, it could be my monitor - and it doesn't detract from an excellent shot. It's great to see someone putting so much time into a shot!

ETA - and of course, you titled it after one of my favourite songs! <3

Re: Mad Jon

Fantastic attention to detail, like the raised eyebrow, in fact the whole expression.

Great work.

Thanks Your not the 1st to say about that area being to dark. Its fine on my monitor and It prints well. I find as well, that if i view my work on a friends pc they look different than when viewed on my mac.

Who song it?

Thank you. It took a few shots to get it right especially when the camera was on timer and not having long to get into position.

Many thanks. I run dry on ideas now and then but they soon come back

Re: Mad Jon

Ah, bit of a MOD then? I used to like the Beat and The Jam.

Re: Mad Jon

Well - I would be if I was old enough! I love most music to be honest! I like the Jam too - but have to say I prefer the original mod era to the sort of revival stuff!
