Self-portrait.
Originally going to be titled "Myself on the cover of a magazine" but decided H O T was more catchy.
Sometime between wanting to be a farmer and wanting to be a singer, I wanted to be a model. So here's my homage to that dream.


Lay down a black sheet, draped myself with a white sheet, lighting came from a reading desk lamp placed near my head.

Crop, hue/sat, levels, curves, selective color, neat image, usm, dodge/burn and clone tool to remove some pimples.

I'm not sure what you are trying to capture here. The model in the photo does not look as if he is dreaming, simply by the position of his hand, as it does not look relaxed. It is possible that the viewer is supposed to be dreaming of this individual. That works for me a little better. I like the lighting, and the tonal completeness of the image, but I'm honestly just not completely sure about the composition itself. My problem, not yours. Very nice image. <8>

Interesting. Lighting is good. The composition works here as well. I do think the focus should have been more on the body...

Though I am pretty sure you are female and our attitudes may be opposite, I understand your thinking. :) Nice composition, good lighting.

Ah ha! There's the shot to get the female vote... Well done, the light is great. The white sheet creates a beautiful balance. The chest is a little too flaT and hairy for my tastes but... Nice arrengements, well studied shot. Good luck!
