The cleverest photo I have ever seen! I just wish you hadn't burned the highlights on the feet out!!! Do it again!

This is by far one of the best self-portraits that I've seen not because it is straight forward and bland but creatively done. Images have to jump out at you and this one does the trick. It catches the eye. My eye at least.

Agree with everything above, plus like that you can't see a reflection of the camera. This is a truly wonderfully original image.

This type of shadow self-portraiture has been done so many times....This one does much better than the typical boring ones I've seen. The feet don't do anything for me, but the shadow, especially the wiggly hand adds great character. Way to go!

a really nice picture, had the oprotunity to be there when it was taken. and i have to say the real magic of this photo, is that it captured the escense of the photographer, who im a proud to call my best friend of 33 years.

 

a real example of true love to an art.

Thank you very much everybody for all your comments. It is nice to see how much a simple idea, with a simple camera, a simple lens, a simple scanner, can be so much fun! I love photography for it can speak for each one, our own passion, our jokes, our ideas, our views or personalities (no matter if it´s digital creative or a disposable camera) and still can provoke (sp?) a reaction in someone else.

When you asked me to take a look at your shadow portrait, I hoped that it wasn't like so many copies of Ansel Adam's self-portrait that we see so much these days, but I suspected that it would be done with fresh creativity like your other work. But, WOW! What a surprise! This is definitely the best self-portrait of this type I have ever seen. I love the tones and textures and the abstract nature of the shadow really makes this something special. Strangely, there is also something "friendly" about it. As abstract as it is, it actually tells us something about you. Maybe I'm just biased because I know what a nice person you are.

 

Darn it! I wish I had thought of this!

Not much I can add to what has been already said...except that this image is deserving of all the praise it is getting. You are right, it isn't the equipment that makes the image, it's the eye and heart of the photographer.

What can I say but Very Good!

The child in me noticed the big feet and the small shadow waving with a big hand. Funny.

 

The only thing I could mention as to improve it is the shadow of someone else sneaking in to your frame in the upper right corner. But, don't let that ruin your day, the picture is wonderful anyway.

Congratulations on POW - well deserved.

Terrific! (And photo self-portraits usually bore me to death.) The open-fingered hand and feet are nice details, not to mention the great surface you get from the watery sand. I like how the position and angle of the feet gives context and fits with the shadow at the same time. Okay, so the left foot is a little overexposed, but the photo has nice tones otherwise.

Very original! How did you do this? How come we don't see the shadow of the camera?

 

One comment - how about cropping to square?
