valphotography 0 Posted July 5, 2009 It's my selfportrait which I captured in the day of my graduation Bachelor's degree. Now I'm teacher of English language and World literature. And finally I decide to take more classes for Master degree. This photo was taken with speedlight Nikon SB-600 and umbrella. Thank you for your critique. Link to comment

LenMarriott 9 Posted July 12, 2009 Not the most sophisticated lighting pattern in the world but sufficient for your intended purpose I suppose. The notepad in the foreground adds interest & speaks to your actions at the time of exposure. Nice that the foreground is a bit muted, not receiving the full light that is on your face. Would be a distraction otherwise. Congratulations on your degree. I see by your bio that you are interested in graffit; studying it or creating it? :-) Keep posting. Best, LM. Link to comment

jorge_fernandez3 0 Posted October 7, 2009 Your interest in learning will take you far, congratulations. I was an slow learner and had to put lots of effort to complete my Bachelors degree in Psy., which I did at the age of 36. I stop schooling for 4 years and then a friend inspired me to sign up for a Mental Health Master Program which I compleded at the age of 42, I will be 61 this month, It has been 19 years as Counseling Professional in Schools and I love it. Your self Potrait is wonderful. I know that there is many quality of images, however I find this one perfect. I do my very best, but I have lots of patience with my left side of my brain, which needs lots of it. I live in the now, and I recomend to you a very powerful book Tittled THE NEW EARTH by Edckard Toole. In TOUTUBE Oprah Winfrey and Edckard Toole have ten lessons regarding THE NEW EARTH. My first language is Spanish, I began learning English at age 13, I reside in Miami, Spanish is the first Language in my circle of humans, I have kept a heavy accent. Felicidades en tus estudios. Warm regards Valentyn. Link to comment
