I think I already said happy birthday to you on FB? Don't be scared. 40 is ok - not too bad :D (young pup)

Great capture and love the black and white tones. How about you do one with you smiling next time? :)

Is there a sign with the gas prices infront of you? You looked shocked! Great b&w portrait of yourself.

You almost look like you're afraid of your own camera!

Don't let the impending event worry you. In my opinion turning 30 was the worst milestone (and I'm a few ahead of you).

striking image, for sure.
Would I want to meet you on a dark night if you were wearing that expression?
Um, perhaps not.

Intense would be an understated description of this portrait. I'll bet it captures him accurately. (A reflection of his approaching the big four zero?) Very successful and love the bw.

Great BW tones. The surprised look is more of having the photo taken than turning 40 IMO. Mine was more a grimace than surprise :)

The processing is arresting but not flattering, I think :) Excellent range of tones. I often look "surprised" like this (well, lots older and I'm a woman, but . . . ) because I make an effort to hold my eyes open.

A very well lit, honest portrait of yourself - I do agree that you look rather surprised - nice catch light in your eyes .. maybe your eyes could be a tad sharper but that might be my eyes lol - a lot older than 40 :)

You look very uptight and surprised. For a self portrait to have this, I'd say your mind is already at 40.... :D

I remember 40, I think I do at least. There does seem to be an element of fear in those eyes. But then again, it's hard to read exactly sometimes. Great portrait.

LOL. I felt just like that when I was about to turn 40.

you look surprised! Did you forget you were going to have your picture taken?

That's a clear expression of Quadragenariaphobia (fear of turning forty). Penetrating stare you have!

This is my Team captain :-) - no wonder he is looking stern/worried ;-).
Nice to see what you look like Vlado ... think you need to change your avatar's hair to dark ;-)

Wonderful portrait. I love the b/w tones.

Great b&w portrait., but why are you looking so stern?
