This is super fantastic, Jeff. Such an intense portrait, softened slightly with the LB. Your eye (I'm sure both) is perfectly sharpened and beautiful with the touch of color. Magnificent!
Whoa, super well done. The eye is tack sharp, and then you just melt away. (I'd be interested to know the aperture that you used here.) Very compelling self portrait, and the tones are deep, dark and delicious. I think that this may be the first SP that I've seen using the Lensbaby. Bravo!
You're staring at me. Quite that. It's making me nervous... Did you leave just the slightest hint of color in the eye (you're still staring!) or is that my imagination seeing color there? Awesome job at a SP, by the way. Closing picture so you'll quit staring at me...
Yes, I left a small hint of color in the eye. Thanks for the comments!

Man, that's remarkable. The deep black background has subtracted nearly all the LB effect, and so what's left is really quite startling. I've never seen anyone do this in this way before. Thanks for posting this new look at the LB.
