OK so I started by inflicting you with a picture of one dodgy bloke so I thought I would end the same way!
Decided I needed to celebrate the end of the 30 day B&W challenge by playing a little dress up so I whipped on my Evening suit and bow tie!!!
Beleive it or not this was the best of a bad bunch!! I dont normally look quite so haggard but am still feeling the effects of jet lag (thats my excuse and I am sticking to it)
Thank you to everyone who has commented on my pics over the last 30 days, I have learnt so much and been so encouraged by the things that have been said and as I have said to a number of people it has been a pleasure and a priviledge
What a fun shot, Jon! And thanks for dressing up for us. This has been such a good time and I've loved seeing your photos. Good luck with all your submissions and with DPL (obviously you'll need it - wink wink).
Jon - Great job on the B/W side challenge . The quality of your work was very consistent and you ended up giving us some very creative work. I enjoyed viewing your images, enjoyed your comments on my photos, and apologize that I didn't get around to commenting on as many as I wanted to - life got in the way.
Great job on this photo as well -I am awful with portraits and you did a great job capturing yourself.
Excellent celebration; but you're not so think looking as you haggard you are :) Wonderful composition, and I love the perspective and closeness. Nicely done!
great shot jon ... this is the sort'v angle/shot my daughter takes all the time on her mobile phone of her and her friends .. when i consider the fact that you were probably taking your own picture then the focus is excellent and i really love your expression .. i would've looked quite self-conscious taking my own picture ... and you dont look jet lagged at all .. in fact you're looking quite debonaire ... :)
Jon, great shot!! I agree it has been a pleasure and priviledge, great meeting you and I will be watching your portfolio, thanks for all the comments and encouragement, it is appreciated!! Of course there is another thirty day starting, Ordinary Objects.....hmmmm
Wonderful! I like that it looks as if your trying not to just crack up laughing! It's been great getting to know you. You've got some beautiful images, thanks for sharing, and thanks also for all the encouraging and helpful comments!! Take care! (Nice suit, too!)
This is really good. I feel very small, and you're peering over me. The tone and focus is perfect. I even like the "distracting" frame behind you for a bit of added angularity (is that a word?) Honestly, I'm glad it's over though. Love the bow tie and the glasses are very stylish.
