Challenge: Portraits Without Children (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Canon EOS-30D
Lens: Tamron SP AF 28-75mm f/2.8 XR Di for Canon

Entry #1.

And really - anyone who thought I would struggle with entering a portrait challenge not using my kids is just kind of silly. ;)

I doubt this will score too high. It will be a tad on the recognizable side. But, dang, I am looking a bit thinner. Lost 20 pounds or so in the past 6-7 months and I cant complain. Neither can Aimee. ;)

My guess is 5.95 with at least a dozen comments mentioning me by name.

My first thought when I saw the photo was "Tim lost some weight". Good job, my friend.

And, a nice portrait also.

The weight loss certainly suits you, Tim. Excellent portrait, congrats on top 10.

Top 10 with a self-portrait. Way to go! And you're looking good, too, which is really more important. :)

Excellent effort, Tim. Very intense, too.

Is there anyone who didn't know this was yours or Aimee's, Tim? Well done! Congrats on the weight loss... no more "burger on the belly shots" for you, huh?

dang, you *have* lost weight! 'Grats on the top 10.

Earlier I started to leave a comment asking if you lost weight, but thought that might be vaguely insulting if I was wrong! :-D

Great SP. As others have said, I'm not a fan of the border, but well done regardless.

The lighting is real nice. The border isn't helping at all IMHO

Impeccable, but why the heavy border? 8

Very nice, timeless! This will look just as nice in 50 years.

Really nice job with the lighting. I like that you have enough for some detail on the dark side. Nice work.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
07/22/2009 10:28:25 AM
Love your light, not huge on the border, though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I love the fall off of the lights across the face... black short is not lost in black background and I know that's not easy... great image.

Very Terminator-esque!!! Very nice composition and good connection with the eyes. Great lighting as always, I don't even mind the top of the head blending with the background, but the lighting on the camera-left side of the face and shoulder is great
