*Critique Club*
Hey, you're the guy with the 1/2 face, 1/2 photo self portrait. If I'm wrong, just ignore me. lol
This shot is nice. I don't think that this photo would ever be on the front cover of NG though. Probably not the one IN the photo either, but hey, it does have humor value, and is very nicely done. And since i'm not voting, who cares what i say anyway. lol
Your focus and clarity are good. I think that the reflections in your glasses are a bit distracting due to the fact that the expression on your face draws my attention there right away.
The angle and framing/cropping are good, but wonder if this could be vertical crop rather than a short stumpy horizontal crop.
The lighting is good overall, but wouldn't want it any brighter on your hat.
Definately made me smile.

*Final Hours Critique*
If my comment is brief, it's because the Magazine Cover shots are going to be taken off the CC list tonight at midnight, and I can get to more of them, using less words. Figured even a brief comment is better than no comment at all.

Interesting idea.

interesting
06/17/2003 03:38:32 AM
Quite humorous! However, it can't be taken seriously.)
06/17/2003 02:27:02 AM
Actually quite funny
06/16/2003 10:28:52 PM
Wonderful!
06/15/2003 04:47:41 PM
I have to decide if this is self-reverential or merely self-referential ... or if it really makes a difference. Nice variation on this theme.

06/15/2003 07:39:16 AM
Very well composed..........I like it
06/14/2003 10:29:12 PM
nice interpretation... and very funny!
06/14/2003 06:27:22 PM
This is funny. I like it. Maybe could have got a more interesting background...
06/14/2003 05:25:43 PM
I'm sorry to say but I don't think NG would ever put this picture on the cover of their magazine. Still the joke is nice :)
06/14/2003 06:58:50 AM
Took a second look at this one to see the humour :) Great idea :) 8
06/14/2003 03:50:27 AM
One of the funniest images in a long, long time. High marks for creativity and originality.
06/13/2003 10:00:24 PM
very creative! =)
06/13/2003 08:31:54 AM
lol! very clever
06/13/2003 03:56:16 AM
The more I lok at this the more I like it. Wrong apsect ratio for a magazine cover but the idea and execution are both great!
06/13/2003 02:18:14 AM
clever!
06/13/2003 01:26:20 AM
Hmmm, pretty clever but making the shot PORTRAIT instead of landscape would have been much better since the magizine you shot is portrait.
06/13/2003 12:19:31 AM
I like the pose..very creative! Keep it up.
06/12/2003 08:19:57 PM
Great idea!
06/12/2003 06:35:22 PM
oh my oh my....nice touch....good job...
06/12/2003 04:49:32 PM
Great job!
06/12/2003 02:16:01 PM
Now THAT'S clever. How the heck did you do that? It's also well executed and has the perfect yellow border for the magazine. My only complaint is that it isn't a vertical shot, which would have been so perfect...like a true cover. Well done! Love it! 9

OK, I'm with you. The mag. cover is in the picture, but isn't necessarily the picture itself? Fun idea, would make a great self-portrait.
06/11/2003 06:47:10 PM
perfect idea... really wel done - 10
06/11/2003 06:11:06 PM
Clever. Doesn't exactly fit the challenge but you get extra points for comedic value.
06/11/2003 02:51:19 PM
Nice shot, a bit silly....I'm not going to issue a DQ reqeust, as I'm not CERTAIN, but from the outlines of your fingers, it looks like the mag cover was pasted in (really good job if so). If true, please DQ yourself. If not, I'm sorry, that's the way it looks to me. Also, I can't quite picture this as a NG cover....sorry again. 6 Rob the Swash

Very funny !!! great Idea !....good photoshop work !
06/11/2003 12:10:59 PM
Is that you? This would be great in Self-Portrait.
06/11/2003 11:50:37 AM
Very original
06/11/2003 11:48:22 AM
Thanks for the smile this morning.... Nice job!
06/11/2003 11:34:15 AM
I love it! Granted, it's a bit of a stretch for the challenge, but I'm one of the few people here who really does appreciate well-done humor on the site :) Looks like you put quite a bit of effort into this one! - 9
