I've done several SP's this past year, and found I like it. This is my first post of a SP~

Interesting take on SP:-)
I like the lighting and treatment!
Cropwise I find it unsettling. I feel that it needs either more or less on both top and bottom, but I cannot place my finger on it without seeing the noncropped version...

Maybe just slightly less on the bottom. I get the sense that the knees are being hacked. I like the pose and the framing otherwise. Also like the expression.

Thanks Nik! I think the non-cropped version ran up to my forehead and down just below the knee....and Caroline has a valid point~

And thanks a million on the light comment...that for me is the highest Compliment!~

Thanks for chiming in Caroline. I did a recrop of the copy I presently have
(having dumped the original):



I think you were right, there was something weird about the crop. Balance, always trying to bring balance~

And I also want to thank you both for chiming in because I have have been hesitant to post my SP nudes due to a multitude of reasons (albeit normal).

Thanks for the critiques!

Why can't I see the photo?

It is a great picture, the crop is interesting and the lighting is great. It will be nice in a few years to have such a lovely photo of yourself. I think as long as you're willing to pose why not try some bodyscapes.

I agree with the comments about the knees, but I think the image works well. As one hairy man to another, I applaud your self portrait

Thanks...not at all easy to accomplish, but fun!

Bodyscapes...oh man...I'd rather be behind the lens for those! I'd probably look like a chicken dancing~

I did do some other types of poses, that well pleased me. But hesitant to post them..perhaps in time~

Start here, work up to framed prints hanging in your living room.
