 Suzi, the tortoiseshell cat, likes to join me in my photos...but Suka, the Persian likes to sit between my arms on the desk while I process images. But today, I convinced her to join me in my photos. She wasn't very comfortable but did it for me.

Now this Self Portrait is probably the most natural of all of my portraits. No makeup, clothes and no prettiness. Sorry folks.

Sorry????what the????!!!! This image is absolutely stunning! An awesome composition and the lighting is just simply to die for. This shot should be required viewing for anyone that wants to learn how to do a great self-portrait!

What a fun treat clicking on this photo, then getting to continue clicking on all your fascinating photos! You are a very talented genius, and I enjoyed your self-portraits immensely!

This one is my favorite of all of them. It's so dramatic! And amazing to get such perfect detail in the blacks on black!

fanTASTIC JOB!

Sorry? For what? I LIKE the natural look of the image. It's a great image. Maybe sharpen your face a bit, but otherwise it's solid.

The B/W really makes this image. It is a good image but the B/W choice makes it great.

You know you do so much with all of your images I forget that you have an amazing grasp of the technicals. They are always impeccable. Like Brad says about your lighting AMAZING. We all aspire. :-)

BTW: Neat Image and I didn't notice the hand till I read it ...

ETA: Not "Neat Image" but "Neat Image" LMAO :-P

Unfortunately that is the distortion of the lens. I was using a 28-10mm.

Judi, this is one of the sweetest pictures of yours I've seen! I LOVE this. Not just your very natural beauty and grace, but the way it's matched by Suka. The deep rich very black background coupled with perfect lighting and the peaceful look on your face make this simply wonderful. Most excellent!

Edited to identify correct cat. :-)

I like this, but I would have cloned out some of the inconsistencies with the background.
