Thanks Scott ... I usually feel incredibly awkward (??sp??) posing for self portraits but i like this one ... looks fairly natural ... a little more like me
I always like the feel of a B&W portrait and I love the angle, zoom and expression you have here. And the hair over the eye just adds that little extra mystery to the photo.
feeling awkward shouldn't be an issue by the way, you look great.
Thanks so much everyone ... it's always a great pick me up to be told you're beautiful as well as to have your work complimented ... but BOTH ... I'm on cloud nine
oh and Cruzin, no, there is definately no modelling experience but you've brightened my day thanks!
btw the only manipulating I've done to the picture was to convert it to b/w ... no contrast adjustments, cropping or anything else
