Hard at Work

Returning for comment: Hmm, looks like me late at night trying to work or trying to catch up on my photoediting. I like the idea. I am not sure about the crop on the left at that particular spot--I think I would have cropped a bit more or less. Lighting and technical aspects is good. But drool is no good for a keyboad ;)

One Careful Owner, Needs Some Attention

Returning for comment: I like how this very simple but effective device works. Knowing you a bit from the site, I think it's fitting, and a portrait should show something of the portraitee's personality. Well done. Bumping up.

Returning for comment: Nice pose, head angle and colors, and excellent sharpness and lighting. I think the crop is a bit too conservative--it hints of a dynamic, partial face close up crop, but doesn't quite get there. I think I would suggest either cropping closer or less, to include a bit of background. Still very nice work and a photogenic model :)

Returning for comment: This is a good effect though perhaps a bit overused on DPC. It is well captured. I am not sure it works well under the category of portrait though!

Returning for comment: Good technical work, and nice portrait idea. I think this might have more impact on the viewer if in profile. Looking so much away from the camera your back is almost turned doesn't engage me as the viewer.

Returning for comment. A nice humorous shot--Interesting expression and use of shallow depth of field.

Returning for comment the second time (the first it timed out on me!). Very good technical studio work, as usual, and I especially like the "character" method of this portrait, as it tells me you are also an artist, and a portrait should, in my opinion, tell me something about the subject rather than just a mug shot. It does, however, have a bit of a posed look with you drawing the camera/photographer, whereas if you weren't looking at the camera, it might appear candid and more natural. I think that you were going for the dynamic interaction with the viewer though, and you achieved it.

Returning for comment: Very dynamic pose, as dressed has a good "austin powers" style humorous look in it. Nice work.

Returning for comment. Nice shot; I like the angular composition but I think it might have been a little stronger if your head hadn't ended up in the center. Good lighting and tones.

The lighting and overall feel of this photo is really great. It's one of those pics that evokes a great mood and draws you in. It would be a 10, but in the category of self portrait, I'm not sure that it is as strong. But a wonderful photo overall (9)
