*sigh* It's the chance one takes when one submits an image taken in December... especially when one posts in on the internet for some to tattle (not me).

It's a WONDERFUL image... especially for a Self Portrait!

It's so moody! I hope you'll stay and shoot for the challenge topics here. It's so much fun!

Too Bad!!!! Keep your original next time... :)

Do you shoot in RAW or JPEG? If you shot it in JPEG probably you can present the unchanged copy?


I shoot RAW but i dont keep any copies of the originals =/

Nice lighting, processing and expression.
06/06/2010 09:06:13 PM
Nicely done! 9
06/06/2010 03:48:45 PM
The unnatural color is disconcerrting at best.
06/06/2010 11:43:17 AM
Really interesting as to why you chose the redness to your nose and mouth. :) The look goes with the harsh processing! :)
06/05/2010 11:54:37 PM
Edgy and in your face. I hate him (like a bum or drunk) but a good concept that's carried out very well. I like the realism here: scruffy 5 o'clock shadow, red nose and lips (ETOH abuse), harsh and discolored street lighting, dirty and hardened facial features. There's a fear factor like you're meeting up in some backstreet alley. Quite refreshing from the milquetoast portraits, actually, but some may find this OTT and a bit too theatrical, like excessive makeup. Strange donut shaped background bokeh. Mirror lens? 9

smoking is bad to health, please consider quitting it
06/04/2010 11:29:02 PM
Absolutely brilliant -- one of my picks for a ribbon! :)
06/03/2010 04:45:32 PM
FABULOUS! One of my top 2 for sure! 10
06/03/2010 12:58:11 PM
Nice use of a catadioptric lens...
06/03/2010 12:44:07 AM
i like this one. i know the subject is what others would say "negative" but im a smoker so lol the only thing I didnt like which was the red on the nose... it looks super embelished.

Cool. The props/makeup is restrained, and the portrait itself well executed. 8
06/02/2010 09:10:45 AM
Love this one, I hope to see it on the home page. (no vote)
06/02/2010 08:33:33 AM
Oh this is great. I love the funky edit.
06/02/2010 07:52:11 AM
very interesting, good job :D
06/02/2010 03:14:59 AM
I'm guessing heavy HDR. Doesn't matter because I think this is great and is what you wanted to achieve! A lot of work has gone into this photo which was well set up to begin with. Has to be a top 20 finish IMO and a 9 from me. Well done!
06/02/2010 01:38:50 AM
Brilliant!
