Challenge Entry No. 214

Here I am in all my glory. A retake of my dismal self portrait last year.

Just being me - the new DPC verb.

Scores are out the window on this one. This is all for fun and amusement ;) I predict - 5.3

Good luck!

You are being accepted in the next Oxford dictionary as a new verb in the English language :) Future perfect continuous: I will have been rikki-ing

Look at those low votes. Ok maybe you're not carrying a cool looking axe with bulging muscles or jumping around in an Icelandic paradise but this wasn't that bad. Your score is actually worse than normal since the average in this challenge was a 5.8 something. Ok maybe I shouldn't bring that last part up. :P

Hey Rikki. You're one of the few heads I know. You're a legend photog and I'm average especially in people shots but I'll give you my best critique anyway. Smile/expression is very good, you look relaxed. The centred composition looks good too. The shirt goes well. Exposure is good but maybe a bit heavy on purely front lighting. Skin tone and hair look slightly unnatural, sorry if that's what you look like in real life :). Background is a bit boring and a bit close, I think it would have been OK if OOF but maybe better if darker as well. Overall pretty good especially for someone who doesn't do a lot of portraits.

Rikki, your hair looks great, made me laugh.

Hey, Rikki, What the hell's up with using the on camera flash? So Unflattering... ;)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/20/2006 10:47:45 AM
I like the way the hands offer a subtle initmation of shyness, yet also draw the viewer in to your eyes. Adding a martini glass and some blues and yellows would have made this really 'pop' ;) Cute picture!

LMAO... not as Rikki'd as I'd expect it to be though ;-)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/19/2006 09:17:25 AM
This can't be Rikki because I've seen some of his portraits and he knows how to take a good portrait shot. Would've voted this much higher with a better background and more creative lighting.

HEE HEE - great eyes, Rikki. This would be great in BW too!!!

Hello verb, I'm just an adjective cutesy pic Im guessing you'll be getting a lot of those comments so I'll just join the pack :)

I'm just a verb, lol! Hi Rikki :) You have a cute face.

OMG!! Bruddah, you SO COPIED me! LOL

Yay! more fodder. :)

Hmmm....who's this guy?! Whoever it is, looks like he's trying to pull a "Rikki" - although without the monitor and martini glasses. :-) Fun image! Your eyes and hair are coming across a little sharp.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/19/2006 02:29:20 AM
Awesome! Love the title. The only thing is your lack of Neat Image. A complete smoothing might have helped the WOW factor. Other than that 10!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/19/2006 01:51:29 AM
I love the detail in the hair! Good catchlights in both eyes and smooth overall lighting. I would like it a little better if the wall didn't show texture, but that's not a big deal. The smile is contageous and the centered/balanced composition works well.

no you're not! :D

I gave this 9. It is a good image. Bigest reason for the score, you smile.

More than a verb, but less than a god. You may quote me :-)

Nice job, Ken. You really could be taken for Rikki's brother. ;>)
