I really like the grain as well. Definately a dark feel to this one, more so than the last. Interesting perspective, as well. The position of the rails almost makes me feel as though you are trapped.

That's what hit me first, the deliberate "jailed" or trapped feeling. Very dark and moody. I like it. Nice work!

I'm not normally a fan of really dark pictures like this but this one really keeps me coming back to look at it. It's really good!! I can't exactly put my finger on the best quality of it but I like it a lot.

Thats quite a moody pic.The dark quality , the bars, the desolate position.
Liked it a lot.

The idea was to make me sad?! What did I ever do to you?! :wink:

:mrgreen:

You're getting really good at these dark, moody self-portraits.

This is wonderful - understated, yet emotive.

Well if you can't work it out for yourself there's no point in me telling you! :grumpy:

Is there something you want to tell me Hobbes? :blushing: :mrgreen:

Once again, thanks everyone for leaving a comment. It's really nice when people do that. Especially when they're positive.
