Disguise. Now who could not love a theme such as this? Certainly not me! A perfect time to play dress-up or Make-up or what have you. If only I had a pig...She would look so lovely!

As it stands, My Son decided to come for a visit and here are a few of the photos from today/yesterday.

I really want to be on theme. As I ask for criticism, please keep in mind the theme and help me decide how near to it I am. I think it is one of my personal biggest issues!

thanks in advance!! All criticism and comments welcomed!

I guess there is no telling where I'll end up or what I'll end up with in this theme. Reveal/Disguise...nice one!

    Those are terrific! I especially like the second one. Right on theme.

    They are all great! #1 needs a little more contrast or something, but I love the ideas! (Love his eyes)

    So...We're on theme here, is what I hear...?

    Thanks for the compliments too! Mostly just exploring the thematic concept. I have room to explore more if I find need or inspiration.

    I like #2 and #3, but #2 gets first place. :)

    Yeah, I have no idea why #1 looks lacking in Contrast. Could be the fact that he is only about 1/16-1/32 OF THE FRAME. Up close, it looks better!
    Or, it could also be the fact that it was very foggy and cold and reflected well into the scene!

    Thanks Jenn, Sandi, Froch, Tatiana, Pemmet, Kate and WHatSheSaw for taking the time to comment! Your expert eyes are a gift!

    Ughhh I had the same kind of idea with the face covered in cam cream and the leaves! Would have been a perfect excuse for my twin daughters to get messy lol.

    Tom, I love #2. It is very on theme. Perhaps a bit more leaves to leave only his eyes...would be haunting!

    When you come to a door... walk through it.
    If it's locked... find an open window.

    Yes. I think it needs more cover or leaves too. I tried a bit of play with it yesterday but couldn't find anything worth doing ......yet!

    I am fairly adept at my portraits, but taking him into the woods and trying to cloak him with the foliage and light him appropriately was a lesson in patience!

    I am still looking for a stronger photo....we'll see if that happens.
