LOL, great fun shot. I don't think I'll try that technique! My hair grows fast, just not fast enough to try your experiment.

Keep the beard. I'm a huge fan of beards. Husband has had his for all 34 years of marriage. Now both sons have one, off and on!
I really like the fun personality you've shown in the outtake. I suspect we'll see more of that side during the next month.

Great job. I'm really looking forward to the "unexpected" poses. I hope that I'll learn a lot from all here.

Glad to hear there is another novice in this portrait side challenge. We'll have to grow together.

I don't feel I have the experience (or expertise) to critique the photo from a photographic stance. I do have design experience however. So, if you don't mind I'll concentrate on addressing those issues.
First off, you have a diagonal. Diagonal always lends a feeling of excitement to it. Which is generally very good. In this case because your face is so peaceful it sort of tugs me towards peace and then towards excitement.
The only other thing that I noticed is that there is more black background on the right side (bottom) than near your elbow, it might help to even that out.
Just going with my first impression ... your pose is very calming, your face is very soft and welcoming and I felt at ease at first glance.

Oh man, I hope voters take the time to really check this one out. The coloring is magnificent, the birds next to the big ol' metal bird is absolutely amazing. 10

10! This is pure art, and magnificently seen. Further, sometimes art is not sharp ... but instead brilliant!

No no no. You can't get away with four in one, silly Jeffrey. Love your playful side. Keep em coming.

Beautiful and mischevious ... a wicked combination in the present. Then again when one looks back it is so very good to see ... life has not beaten her down she has loads of potential.
Love your processing. Beautiful!

Day2 - Steamin'

I crave your firewalk area. Sure seems to be full of beautiful photo ops. Of course, the steam is magnificent. And for some reason, that I can't seem to verbalize, I really like the dark mysterious tree trunks in the beautiful colorful foliage.
And to top it all off your border rocks. Picture perfect.
