Self-Portrait With Glove

Just having some fun in one of the abandonments that we visited with a local photographer earlier today (and also christening my new lens).

Very good and creepy too. I really like the feeling that hand gives to the photo.

New lens What kind

Thank you, Mary Run into a mint 85mm f/1.4 locally and just couldn't resist the temptation...

Excellent. I like the color and textures and the story in the shadow. Very nice.

Roadkill

Thank you, lady and gentlemen

B&W version, in case anybody is interested, as suggested by a poster on another forum:

Panther

Howdy Federico,

Really like both the Color and the B&W, but I think I favor the B&W a little more, as I kind of thought the wood color of the molding on the left drew my eye away from the main focus.

really a very creative image, very nicely done!!

Thanks Craig, Azzaro, and Mary. I'm with Mary, I like the colour version a bit better. I might have to darken the wood though... Thanks for the feedback!

Don't know if you intended it, but...
I agree with some of the other posters. This is a very spooky shot. First thing I thought of was some demented serial killer in the middle of nowhere taking the final pictures of his victim. Very creepy. Just curious, what was your intent when you shot this? (Wondering if you were going for spooky or something completely different)
I also like to color version better.

I was wondering what you were doing in that house after I left. Now I know!!!!

Very cool shot and creative!

I was photographing the interior of this abandoned house that we found with TheReal7 (who posted right after you). I spent there quite a while, long enough for the sun to start going down. I turned around and found the shadow of my tripod and camera cast on that decaying wall. I never include myself (or my shadow) in my images, so I just decided to have a little fun. The creepiness simply happened

Thanks, Silverado!
