Challenge: Self-Portrait III (Advanced Editing IV)
Camera: Canon EOS-10D
Location: @home
Date: Feb 11, 2005
Aperture: Manual ~f16
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/250s
Galleries: Portraiture, Studio
Date Uploaded: Feb 13, 2005

Shot with my new super-sharp Carl Zeiss 50/2.8 lens (cost £1.70) which seems even sharper than the Canon 50/1.8 ... and then run through a softening filter : )

Aiming for something similar to the Jim Morrison 'crucifiction' look but keeping it a lot darker.

Without the nipple, I'd rate this an 8. With, I'd rate it a 6.

This seems a little too dark and out of focus, but other than the picture isn't that bad.

Quite an artistic rendition with great low key effect to add to the mood. The colors are great and the composition admirable. Bumping up.

i don't know anything about portraiture, so i'm using your image as a guinnea pig as to what i think i would or wouldn't do in this situation, as well as what i notice and get out of your image.

if the purpose of portraiture is to capture the essence of the individual, i believe you have succeeded. the lighting, pose, and composition all come together here. this really is an amazing image. good luck!
