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!

Not much to do on the farm these days....

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.

It's Probably Me

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.

Good pose, nice composition. Perhaps this needed some leveling--it looks a bit muddy/flat to me--I would guess the whites are on the side of gray here.

Deep Depression of the Code Cutter

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)

Exquisite tones, this has a superb feel to it. I'm not sure I understand the context as a self portrait/story, but it works visually. Bumping to 10.

Reflections on an Unfinished Me

This is excellent. A great idea and well implemented. First I thought this was a mirror, but now I'm guessing it's a print. Either way, it works well. Wish I'd thought of that! 10 from me!
