 Yeah...it's me again. Hope you people don't get tired of my selfportraits :-P Had a haircut and now it's quite extreme, bright red. Made a mohican especially for the photo normally it doesn't look like this :-D Thought the knife was just a nice touch to make it more edgy.

Wow - striking picture !!

This is a really strong shot, with great technicals. I like the almost unbalanced crop (with all the deadspace above your head) it adds to the edginess - but I would also be interested to see it with a more square crop, so the frame is filled more.

Either way - it's very impressive.

Just having a look at this; kind of wish I hadn't because my teeth hurt just looking at the way that knife is in your mouth. ;-Þ

Stylish and cool. Does not look like a fun pose for the model, but it really works. And excellent frame job.

The image of the model is amazing. I'd prefer it without the negative space.

Right then, joke's on me as I now have to plough through 564 images and bump them all (yes, all of them) up. There'll be a third run through for fine tuning. It's day two three now and I'm running late, sorry.
