 this selfportrait was fun to do.
special thanks goes to mephisto (//www.dpchallenge.com/profile.php?USER_ID=33535) for providing his home "studio" and adjusting the lighting setup, which consisted of an 200w bulb infront and a 40 w bulb above me.
this little freeky picture was inspired by a paiting of a modern painter (can't remember the name).
my first pic with my new dslr, so hope it does well ;P

Looks like you are a Scorpions fan. Taken from the Blackout album cover (as noted below). Nice recreation! (one of my favorite Scorp's albums)

I can really see how " The wrath in your face" fits into the Seven Deadly Sins II challenge. I think if wrath is defined as forceful, often vindictive anger, you have made a great interpretation.

The image itself is cleverly done and demands attention, I remember thumbing through the challenge and of course this thumbnail stood out. I think the lighting is very well done, you could have ended up with too much reflection on the aluminum foil or the forks but you didn't. I almost wish you had silver on your head instead of the ace wrap, but still you made great you of household objects. Good use of shadow from your nose giving more of a dramatic edge. The composition is great it feels like it is cropped just right. Overall the image is pretty good, I think the concept might have been a little out there for some but I loved it. Also congrats on a great first shot with your new camera, I am sure it is one that you will remember. Good work!

Wow this is pretty creepy, I am sure you could have altered it and made it goofy too. Nice shot of capturing wrath with some household items.

One of those highly explosive and impressive visuals with a slight suggestion of the surreal. Bumping up.

Cleverly done. Catches the attention straight away. I think you could start a new glasses trend ;-)
