Not even a reflection of you? Very nice capture and image, but not a self portrait for any human. Maybe I'm missing the reflection?

Great! If I may suggest a small crop at the top. It's minor, but when I scroll down and it clips, I see the cheetahs as a much stronger subject.

That is fantastic, thanks for posting the link to it, I missed it! It looks like you were in the room with the chimp? So do you work at the zoo (given all your chimp shots)?

Wow, you have a big framing budget! Now you just need a way to mount some frames on the ceiling.

There you be! I was looking at all the thumbnails for you, and that's why I couldn't find it. Very clever. I like the contrasting red and black theme and of course the nice stop motion, multiple image shot. I can imagine this would have also worked well with your image on some of those newton's balls., but might have been hard to get it to stick and look natural.

What this shot needs is some big heavy bold grain ;)

Actually, I have a real challenge for you. Capture this motion, but in a cats cradle, getting the shape of the string and several swings. Hands/arms are ok. I really think it would be awesome.

But it's a good shot and very clever, if I didn't say that already.

Returning for comment. Super shot! The hat and pose add a lot of character. One of my favorites in this challenge.

Returning for comment. I like the pose, and the high key effect on the upper face. I like the shot, but I think it would have been better if the whole photo were high key. Down on your body, it seems to return to normal contrast. That suggestion aside, very good self portrait!

I see you . . .

Returning for comment. This is pretty intense--I really like the contrast here and the very sharp capture. I think it's great but I do have two suggestions for small improvements: I think both your hands should have been flush againt the cheek like the right, and then if it were just a bit more off center. I'd like to know a bit about your B&W conversion tecnique--I really like this. Bumping up.

Returning for comment: In this position, you reminds me of a character from the Simpsons, I dont remember his name--the sidekick of the clown. An interesting take on a self portrait, I like it.
