Thanks for looking. Comments and critique is always welcome!

Long exposure would have been better with out the people but I still some what like it cause it is different!


Not sure about the second. I like the concept but the image does not sit right with me. Maybe move him to the right on the photograph and have him looking the way he is looking. May not put him so close to the edge. Maybe have him looking the other way.? I am not sure what I would have done but this one does not work for me!

Can you share your settings with #1 please? The camera on tripod looks pretty good (i would have leashed it)...maybe a slow sync flash would have really done well in this shot?

Agree, #2 the subject looking out of the frame is distracting for most people.

I really like the second... its different and makes me wonder what he is looking at

I kinda like #2, but feel you have either too much of the nose in frame or not enough. The sliver of nostril is irritating. If this is a crop of the original, try bringing the top of the frame just underneath the eye socket..... or put another way, up to the cheek bone.

I liked both; first one for being creative of a different kind; second one for the anxiety it creates

Thanks for all the positive feedback!

The exposure on the first was 25 or 30 seconds, and the second shot was like 1-2 seconds i believe.

I did not crop the portrait at all. I will try cropping it just under the nostril to see how it comes out.

Again, thanks for all the feedback!

Cool shot, how long of exposure was the shot?

The first does zero for me.

But I actually really like the self-portrait shot. I kind of want the crop to extend just a *hair* further past your arm on the left though.
