You make a cute guy, but an even greater girl! I like the way the background makes the "B" on the cap pop out. Great match on the color between the two also.

NOOO way! I was seriously sitting on the couch a couple hours ago thinking about when I had short hair and could wear a cap and a tshirt and look like a boy. And thought... yea I should try that again! LOL. What is that called when that happens? I wanna say collective consciousness but I could be wrong.

Anyhow. All that aside. Cute photo, I like your expression. The background could use a little work as I am not a fan of the flat color and the edges where you cut yourself out are a bit rough. What I do is go over it with the eraser tool on about 50% with a soft edge and sometimes a bit of light smudging too.

I like you better a a woman ( but I generally prefer women...)
Great background and it matches you lipstick. Yeah the focus looks like it is on the arms. I find the focusing to be one of the most difficult things about sp (I usually use a flash unit on a small tripod as a model and the switch to manual focus so that is doesn't change when I take the shot).
Nice exposure and colors. You've got great hair.
Cheers.

Now, I want to do a SP with this theme since I have short hair. Thanks for the inspiration. Would it be insulting if I said that you did a nice job making it appear as if you are a boy? :) You did. The clarity and colors are nice. I wish I could see more of your face, though. Then again, this could take away from the illusion.

It is sooooo funny that you say this, we *a group of my friends and I* used to "switch genders" and go out on the town. I got asked for my number by girls SO many times it just was not funny :P OH, and that binder hurt like heck!! LOL

Nice job on the lighting and back drop! Focus looks like it's on your arm rather than on your eyes. They look a little soft. Nice job, Jojo!
