latest from series of self-ports... any thots...?

This is certainly on of your best self portraits. The lighting/shadows really complements the pose.

I love the crazy lighting in general and the shadow cast in particular. I've been doing quite a bit of work with both ideas too and can fully appreciate how hard it was to make an image so good. Your pose and expression only add to the mood of this photograph.

Self-portraits make it so much more difficult to get a good shot. Well done!

Self-portrait, really? Wow, impressive in many ways. First, you look like you're as good in front of the camera as you are behind it! I love the lighting here, and the pose and expression. I agree self-portraits always seem so hard, you've done excellent here. the only thing I don't like are the leaves(?) on the left side of the image, they seem to draw my eyes aways from the main subject, which is you. Other than that, bravo!

The toning is very well done. The lighting is very interesting. I looked at a lot of your portfolio. What a fascinating person you must be. Looking forward to your spirited and some times very erotic photos.
