I just looked at your self-portrait portfolio. I really like it. Fantastic work that has inspired me. I've been working on a series that to this point have all been self-portraits. Looking at these have give me inspiration to continue the series in other ways.
Is that a new overlay i dont know about?! Looking forward to another month of your outstanding images :D This is one is so intelligent.....my brain hurts!
I look so forward to every one of your new shots... I can't wait to see how you'll tease my imagination next time. You are the bomb dude... Outstanding work.
It's not fair that you have such a good model to use... Lovely darks, shapes, and textures, including but not limited to the overlay. I sense mystery but not foreboding.
This is so you, as you always seem to put your heart and soul into an image, and your black and whites are always appealing to me.....
Also they are very emotive, with a little drama thrown in as well.....
I am so pleased you have joined us in this side challenge, and look forward to seeing many more of your amazing images, if they are anything like this one.....
man .. you nailed the moody/atmospheric ..
brilliant shot .. excellent process .. beautiful use of overlay .. subtle and fitting ..
ps .. hot model .. !!..:)
minute later .. just read the other comments .. i couldnt see the hat .. still can hardly see it .. and i thought i'd calibrated my monitor just right .. tipped the top of the monitor forward and now i can see the hat ...
both versions are brilliant .. the very dark with no hat .. and the lighter version with the hat .. :)
can this be the lost sinatra nudie session ? where the blue of the night meets the pink of my cheeks ? have you got the bing crosby, sammy davis junior jaccuzzi shots aswell ? very atmospheric - i like the grain and the scratchy background especiually
