    Ok, it feels downright odd to comment on your SPs of all people, Jeff - you're the one who usually tells the rest of us how it's done!!!

    They're really nice - good to see some outdoor portraits too (the rest of us are cooped up inside in the cold right now!)

    Of these I prefer #2. Much better light in the eyes, IMO, and the just-visible knee-up is a good pose. I wonder how it would look cropped to portrait (thus losing the vine to the left and throwing more attention onto yer mug)? -

    Not so sure about #1... dunno - WE all know you're the nicest guy around, but that intense an expression without much smile is kind of intimidating!!! Good for the "rugged, intrepid photographer" look, but might scare off seniors... eek7.gifD:giggle

    I like that second one. You look more relaxed. :)

    At first I didn't realize it was your leg that you had your elbow resting on. I was wondering what it would look like with either more of your leg showing or having it completely cropped out?

    I like the outdoor setting too. Nice :) I'd have to be all bundled up in my winter wear to do an outdoor portrait right now.

    Nice shots, Jeff. The second one looks like it should be an ad for photo gear!

    Ha!Ha! I pictured elderly people frantically pumping their walkers as they run away..

    Though... I do tend to agree with the Diva about the first- your expression is just a bit intense. I wish your chin was raised a smidge in both so you could show of your rugged jawline. rolleyes1.gifNice job with the masculine tilt and your warm colors. You are a nice looking fellow!

    Well, I think I'd pretty much assumed that must be the case having seen pictures of the rest of the family... :D

    I'm the nicest guy around and by this weekend, I'll have some SPs to prove it ... so there!!!

    As to the SPs .... Jeff, I have to agree with the ladies. The first one is a might too intense. The second is much more open an expression and the pose is actually a bit more inviting and does a wonderful job as a portrait of a professional "doing his thing."

    YES!! Self portraits one and all!!!

    Anyway, I'll grant I phrased it badly - how about, "ONE of the nicest guys around". We all know that you're both adorable :D:D (come on, Heather, help me out here!!!!) :giggle

    save #1 for when you are on the back cover of some magazine endorsing a Canon 5D3 or 60D...

    #2 for your advertising....

    (don't take this wrong, divamum) :dgrin You bet I agree!

    I think ALL should have SP's on here... though most already have at one time or another. It is always fun to have further glimpses into the lives of those which we chit chat with daily.

    But it tis' the season for Self Portraits, Fa la la la laaa... la la laaaa laaaa!

    Good - that was my intent but you never know how it'll come across.

    The SPs are coming - I promise!

    I like number 2. In number one, I don't see it as intense but I see mischief in the eyes and a smile that is hard to contain :)
    I thought your children looked just like your wife but now I see they look a lot like their dad too!

    I haven't been back since I posted this......sheesh you guys are all MOSTLY crazy....but fun....

    These SP's were done at the same time that I did the shot I used for the avatar. I don't LIKE any of them really.....and #1 I like less than the rest. It is certainly the WRONG end of the camera for me to be on!
    Thanks,
