Looks like last year's dancers looked in their dance sacks ... that did look a bit creepy, too, but was meant to have that effect, along with that of surprise ... I wonder if I can ever find that thread again to show you?
Anyhow: I like this for a self-portrait and I like the choice of black and white. Brings out the lines and shapes well.
Well, try as I might: I cannot find the photos I was thinking of anywhere on here...
