hmmm, i gotta admit, this New Year and past christmas have been the best I have ever lived to see.
Embracing it while I can. :-)
OH! and boy, if you haven't noticed, Im doing a 50 day portrait thing. Because I never finished my Last self portrait challenge, so I decided to combine the two into one big giant hoopla of joy. Heck yes.
First impression: Ah, the queen of self portraits. Great start to the challenge. The border and the b&w edit go really well together. Is the border made using a brush or an action? I really like it
Suggested improvement: Nothing I can think of right now.
Black and white was a good choice for this one. The contrast is excellent. The border is a very nice touch and goes well with the image. The only thing I might try and do is clone out some of the blurry snowflakes in the foreground.
I love those hats but when I take them off my bangs are like every which-a-way so good thing I don't live where it's that cold. You look adorable. I love your harsh contrast!
Great portrait! Your subject is well lit and pops from the background yet the image looks very natural. The best work looks almost effortless and this is a great example.
really good job with the conversion and the border. I like the symmetry of the lamp posts coming up from her shoulders. It looks like it was a really bright day esp with all that snow so the model is squinting a little bit which detracts from the shot a little bit and I cannot think of an easy way to avoid it in those conditions normally I would use a diffuser to block the sunlight, here I doubt that would work.
Very nicely done with respect to getting the face right/clothes yet having a bright enough background so it is non-intrusive yet adds interest. Frame works well.
Old age is catching up with me (again) . . I was sure that I had already commented on this - but unless Iwas using invisible ink it looks like I was wrong . .
Really cool shot - love the sharpness of yourself aginst the snowy, hazy, indistinct background, and the border fits perfectly.
Oh and a happy smile as well ! I wouldn't be smiling if I was standing in snow so long that it had started to gather on my hat
awesome how the b/g is so danged bright and white and still you got the detail of the trees. Must be nice to have such a cute model to work with ;) funny, almost feels like we have seen you grow up just a little bit on here...wern't you about 15 when you started here? you have a bright future in photography, alot of talent right now and i reckon a whole bunch untapped.
