 HEE HEE - I couldn't resist. Dressed in the same clothes I used for Chairman, plus my son's black glasses. The chair was still in the entry hall. I couldn't get the color right in basic, so I went to BW.

Hope I get a few laughs. I'm not expecting much in the score department.

Terrific! Great idea and well executed though I do agree that a little more on the left side would have catapulted this to the top. You are so clever.

A 6+ and top 20 - for someone who looks like Hitler's effeminate little brother in this, you should be happy! :)

may be a few more millimeters on the left side would've made this pic perfect!

No offense to the model, but i thought this was a guy! haha. nice idea. but it seems a little too sharp to me. just my opinion.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/19/2007 08:24:52 AM
It would be nice to see the left hand as well
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/18/2007 05:06:09 AM
Love the unorthodox composition. Pose sorta reminds me of John Cleese, or maybe I just watched some Faulty Towers clips too recently. Overall very well done and one of my top picks.

great pic!!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/17/2007 02:30:58 AM
It's good. Would be better without the front door, but a much starker - more boring setting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/16/2007 07:27:36 PM
excellent composition. really like how the shirt chokes up at the tie

"He" looks very tense... like waiting to be called in by the boss. good job!

I know who this is... :) Wonderful self portrait! My daughter picked this as her favorite out of all of them. Good job!

Wow, don't want to cross her. (Sneaking in the back door instead)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2007 10:21:54 AM
I like the concept and the feel of the picture. IMO, in a picture like this, details are important and te picture being tilted anoys me (probably more than in a snapshot).
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2007 10:04:33 AM
very nice one, i like the way you composed this picture.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2007 12:41:33 AM
oh wow my lady!! i love the pose too, very eh manly :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2007 08:56:44 PM
I think she pulled it off! I would have liked a little more room on the left.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2007 08:28:52 PM
OMGosh! GREAT!!!!!! 10 10 10! You rock

 03/14/2007 08:25:31 PM
Unusual. Why the door?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2007 07:12:03 PM
Looks like someone I know from somewhere. Image is a bit grainy. I would have taken a bit closer shot but that's IMO. I have tons of 4's so maybe that is my problem hahahahah.

 03/14/2007 05:19:06 PM
You make a great guy! :) Funny, when I saw your chair photo and the crossdress challenge popped up I thought, now that would've been a cute idea. I see you thought so too. :) Love it! Them there are some big shoes. :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2007 04:56:58 PM
Just a little bit more photo on left would have been preferable for me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2007 03:33:13 PM
absolutely stunning!! your expression is excellent, and the pose is great (as usual:) you really look like a CEO!! :) excellent composition, too.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2007 12:36:47 PM
Nice shot, but I would have liked to see something original rather than a variation of your other (quite excellent) submission.
 03/14/2007 12:28:04 PM
very nice. like the pose and the expression, lighting isn't the best but also not the worst. the focus issue bothers me, nothing really tack sharp. also with this compostion I really think the basebored and the door frame need to be straight vertical and horizontal. there is also a noise issue in the shadows.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2007 12:22:41 PM
nice but No
 03/14/2007 12:01:17 PM
I like the set-up, however, the door is a bit distracting. Possibly if the subject had moved more to your left with only the wall behind. Just a suggestion.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2007 11:53:02 AM
Very nicely executed, extremely nice composition and a smart pose. Lighting is great too 8

nice
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2007 09:31:51 AM
How long did it take to grow the facial hair? We havent seen you in a while, maybe you have been hiding so you can work on this new skill??

Nice lighting and composition - I like the crossed leg and your placement in the photo and how the door looks warped due to the wide angle shot
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2007 09:27:52 AM
ahhh Jutilda, stealing my pose I see, great shot, really like the composition.

Nice one Jutilda...

Oh Judy....you have done well!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2007 04:41:46 AM
You can't fool me haha, good one! Perfect in b/w would have been a good one in the GrainII as well..
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2007 01:24:51 AM
Great shot, nice play on words there. Judy (I think this is Jutilda), you are too pretty to pass for a guy! Although you have the leg cross thing down-pat! Great job here.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2007 01:24:49 AM
I really like this. This crop is very untradditional and almost unsettling the way it draws you to the side and seems off balance and I really think that adds to the subject matter somehow.

Wish the contrast was a bit more pronounced.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2007 01:19:53 AM
Ha! So that other shot was just a prelude. Nicely done.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2007 12:43:49 AM
OMG, he inflated! Haha. You should have been an actress, Judy!
